and if the new app is approved, and they will filed a Letter of Protest, they may get the new app rejected. They will also be in a better position in an opposition rather than cancellation.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="gmaildefault"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Just chiming in with my 2 cents, but I agree with Mary, here. On the face of it, only the owner, mark, and goods & services need to be the same. There's nothing
here about register or filing basis or the like. Of course, I've never had to deal with this situation myself, so the PTO might disagree! That said, the rules as written don't seem to exclude a new 2(f) claim.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="gmaildefault"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">On the other hand, something occurs to me. I</span></span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">t seems worthwhile to point out that the 2(f) applicaiton
is indeed a new application that is technically unconnected to the Supplemental registration. And<span class="gmaildefault">, what's more,</span> it's an application that gets routinely filed when the Supplemental registration is up for renewal (as we discussed
on this list not too long ago). The PTO might be hesitant to allow <span class="gmaildefault">this kind of loop-hope procedure to allow the 2(f) claim to jump to the front of the line, when markholders who file things "properly" (if you will) do not get such
benefits. That is, if I file the 2(f) application normally when the Supplemental registration has been live for 5 years, then I have to wait the 7 or 8 months or whatever like everyone else before the examiner gets to it. But if, oops, I just let the Supplemental
registration lapse, then I get to cut to the head of the line with a request to make special. And maybe that's not such a good policy. (Although perhaps a better policy would be making ownership 5-year Supplemental registration
<i>its own separate ground</i> for a request to make special. But I don't control the Trademark Office at present.)</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
