5.7 Marks with different linking elements

Up one level

An application may be considered a series where a different linking element is used but the meaning of the marks is the same.

Valid:

FUN & RELAX
FUN AND RELAX

Invalid:

SAVE FOR COUPONS
SAVE 4 COUPONS

Even though the pronunciation of the marks is the same, each one of these can give a different idea and as such do not resemble each other in their material particulars. The first mark has the idea of saving to get coupons, while the second mark has the additional idea of saving for four coupons.
