Further down in clause 332, proposed subsection 20(1.1) reads:

(1.1) The registration of a trademark does not prevent a person from using any utilitarian feature embodied in the trademark.

Would that be a star, for example, inside a circle, or some other feature? Are you saying that the star itself is not a trademark, but all these symbols together in the way they're arranged would be the trademark?

I just want to understand what you mean by “utilitarian feature embodied in the trademark“.
