<p class="MsoNormal">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,
