Displaying a sense of humor in reversing the refusal of an application for the color green for medical examinations gloves, the TTAB wryly noted that “[i]f this appeal were a movie, it would be entitled ‘Fifty Shades of Green.’” Specifically, in In re Medline Industries, Inc., the TTAB reversed an Examining Attorney’s refusal to register Applicant’s mark on the Supplemental Register in the first precedential Board decision deciding the issue of likelihood of confusion between two single-color marks since In re Cook Medical Techs. LLC, 105 USPQ2d 1377, 1379 (TTAB 2012).
