4.1.3 Conjoining words
Up one level
An application may be considered a series where one mark consists of two or more words and the other mark consists of the same words conjoined. However the differences in presentation must not alter the pronunciation or meaning of the mark.
The following marks would comprise a series, for example:
BLACK POINT
BLACKPOINT
The marks below do not constitute a series as the first mark has two potential pronunciations and meanings (“not ale” and “no tale”), whereas the second mark has only one (“no tale”).
NOTALE
NO TALE
