Feature highlight: Thor Tech Pairs evidence

Hi! This is Howard Katzenberg, GleanMark's founder. An examiner says your client's goods are related to the cited registration's goods. Finding the same mark registered to different owners across those categories can help you support a response. GleanMark finds those pairs and assembles the ones you select into an exhibit bundle.

Here's Tranquila, for canned tequila cocktails, refused over Tranquilo, for beer. The examiner supplied brewery websites selling both. I enter the serial number in Thor Tech Pairs. GleanMark identifies the cited registration and, in this example, uses the goods as the examiner described them in the refusal.

Choose the research purpose and search breadth. Narrow, Balanced, and Broad control how closely the registrations' goods must match each side.

Balanced finds pairs with different owners. It also shows evidence pointing the other way: Margaritaville and Jim Beam have registrations covering both categories under the same owner. You can review that evidence separately; it stays out of your selected-pair exhibit.

Switch to Broad to widen the results. Then filter by a term like agave to focus on the goods you want to examine.

Here's Euforia. One company owns a registration for agave liquor; another owns one for beer. Hover over each mark to inspect its record. GleanMark checks that both registrations are live, on the Principal Register, and held by different owners. Review the pair before deciding whether to rely on it.

I select Euforia and Alamo, another pair covering spirits and beer under different owners.
