A trademark or service mark registration is limited to the specific goods or services in connection with which the mark is actually used in commerce. If registration is sought for the same trademark or a confusingly similar one, registration will not be allowed if the marks are being used in related lines of commerce likely to engender consumer confusion as to the source of the goods or services. Even if the lines of commerce are dissimilar, registration of a famous trademark in connection with another product line, e.g. “Cadillac Vodka”, may be denied because it would tend to “dilute” the efficacy of the famous mark in uniquely identifying its product.
