Headnote

A mark built on a word that applies to almost all medicinal and pharmaceutical goods, which are essentially relief giving, is extremely generic however it is prefixed. The threshold for registration of a pharmaceutical mark is higher, the application was on a proposed-to-be-used basis with no user claimed, and registration would amount to expansive overreach.
