<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">TMEP 1208(d)(2) requires that it be used “on a series of works”. TMEP 1208 states registration is refused unless the title has been used on a series of creative works. In
your example, use on “a single work” , whether the full title or a portion, would not be enough. It might bolster the totality of use if used in other ways, and other specimens could be provided, but if that is the only specimen, would likely get refused
in my opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> I know that a portion of the title of a work (a book, let's say), <a href="https://tmep.uspto.gov/RDMS/TMEP/current#/current/TMEP-1200d1e2574.html" target="_blank">can be trademark use for the purposes of USPTO registration</a>, but
would simply adding a "TM" superscript to that portion, of a single work, really be enough? Thus: "NOT A TRADEMARK™: How to get the most out of your Examining Attorney" <-- photo of one work is the only specimen provided..<o:p></o:p></p>
