<p class="MsoNormal">I think you might be thinking of the presumptions that come with a registration on the Principal but not on the Supplemental, which really only apply in litigation/disputes. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">From a registration standpoint, the EA will always treat marks on the Supplemental exactly as they do marks on the Principal with regard to the likelihood of confusion analysis because that's one of the express benefits of a registration
on the Supplemental (even though it directly conflicts with the idea that the Supplemental is only a listing of non-mark designations that are capable of eventually becoming a mark but aren't actually valid trademarks at the time of registration).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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, <o:p></o:p></p>
