<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello List Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Have any of you had experience using one informational webpage as the specimen for multiple marks on the same page? In the past we have had success by largely placing 4 stylized marks at the top of the informational
page in a row and the same specimen was accepted for each mark. For visual reference it was laid out as below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:red">MARK1 MARK2 MARK3 MARK4<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:red">[INFORMATIONAL PARAGRAPHS HERE]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We recently tried to use this same approach for another client and the examiner refused the specimen because “<i>the specimen does not show a direct association between the mark and services in that the applied-for
mark is one of five marks present on the website and there is no indication that the applied-for mark is the one mark that identifies the services or the source of the services</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Given this identical approach has worked in the past, we were surprised by the refusal, but were wondering if any of you had similar experience or if you thought possibly spacing out the marks throughout the
page instead of all at the top would be acceptable. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
