Likewise, the detachment of any additional portions of a multi-district county in the formation of an adjacent multi-county senatorial district must likewise be justified by the necessity of maintaining a maximum population deviation of 10%. Tenn. Const. Art. II, Sec. 6; 1982 Pub. Acts Ch. 909. 91-86 COUNTIES: T.C.A. §47-25-502(3) prohibits trademark registration of a county seal. It also prohibits registration of a governmental insignia or any simulation thereof. A county's seal is, in essence, already protected from duplication. Thus, registration of a county seal is unnecessary under the Tennessee statute even if a county is engaged in business. 15 U.S.C.A. S1051, 1052; T.C.A.
