This document is largely USA- and UK-centric and uses terminology that does not universally apply across jurisdictions. Outside of those countries, there is currently no legal basis or enforcement mechanism unless and until an international framework (such as registration via the Madrid System) is in place.
Accordingly, directive language such as “must” or “may not” implies authority that does not presently exist in many regions. Until broader legal coverage is established, these guidelines should be framed as requests made out of respect for the work and the community effort, rather than enforceable requirements.
For clarity and accuracy, the tone and wording should be adjusted to reflect this reality.
