What the register showed
153
live TRINITY-formative registrations

different owners
Classes 25, 35 and 41. And TRINITY itself (Trinity University, 2019) already shares the register with the cited TRNITY (2024).
The draft argues the cited mark deserves only a narrow scope, and attaches the records as three exhibits.

How it works
Enter the formative from the cited registration and the classes you care about. Terms under four characters match the whole mark exactly, so a short word does not sweep in every longer one.
By hand: A TESS query per term and class, rerun for every variation.
GleanMark pulls every live, registered mark that leads with the term, plurals included, then groups the field by class and by owner. Pending and dead marks stay out of the count.
By hand: Open each hit in TSDR to check its status and owner, then tally them in a spreadsheet.
Download every mark in the field to Excel, not just the page on screen, ready to turn into your exhibit.
By hand: Print or screenshot each record and assemble the exhibit one page at a time.
Why the argument works
When many owners register marks built on the same term for related goods, the term is weak, and consumers tell the marks apart by what else they say.
See Juice Generation v. GS Enterprises and Jack Wolfskin v. New Millennium Sports (both Fed. Cir. 2015). Registrations show the term is shared; evidence of use in the market adds weight, so pair the count with web evidence where you can.
Examiners relied on shared dominant wording in 37,000+ §2(d) office actions GleanMark has read.
Run it on your next §2(d) refusal. Included in Professional and Max.
Counts are live registered marks on the USPTO register as of September 24, 2026. Sample figures are from the published T TRINITY draft.
