<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">In my experience, Examining Attorneys treat marks on the Supplemental Register the same way that they treat registrations on the Principal Register. They will ask: (a) are the two marks similar, and (b) are the goods related. Now, an applicant can push back and argue that there are multiple registrations for similar marks for similar goods and therefore the registered mark should be given a limited scope of protection. It could argue that the mark is inherently weak (which narrows the scope of protection). But at the end of the day, the Examining Attorney will perform a 2 (d) analysis as if the registered mark is on the Principal Register. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">You might want to check out .<i> </i><span><i>In re Productos Verdes Valle, S.A. de C.V</i>., SN. 87110668 (July 25, 2018)([not precedential)</span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span>Paul</span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span>Paul Reidl</span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span>Dickenson, Peatman & Fogarty</span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span>Napa, CA <br></span><br></div><br></div><div id="ydpc84dbfcdyahoo_quoted_6683454812" class="ydpc84dbfcdyahoo_quoted">

<p class="ydpc84dbfcdyiv3484549544MsoNormal">Dear esteemed list, I seem to remember that there was some authority regarding the limits on the Supplemental Register and the scope of protection. For example, if there is a similar mark, but it is on the Supplemental, there as not as
much deference to that registration- basically the application of the general TM rule that the more distinctive the mark the more protection and vice versa. I you have any cases or examples of this please let me know. Thank you,
