(C) the registration was granted improperly;
(D) the registration was obtained fraudulently;
(E) the registered mark is or has become the generic name for the good or the service, or a part of the good or the service, for which the mark was registered; or
(F) the registered mark is so similar to a mark registered by another person on the principal register in the United States Patent and Trademark Office as to be likely to cause deception, confusion, or mistake between the marks, and the mark registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office was filed before the filing of the electronic application for registration by the registrant under this chapter.

(4) a registration if a court of competent jurisdiction orders cancellation of the registration on any ground.
