The registration lists the following classes of goods and/or services: 035, 042. The specimen submitted with the Section 8 Affidavit is acceptable for class 035 but does not show current use of the mark for class 042.

(2) The following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20: “The substitute specimen was in use in commerce during the relevant period for filing the 10-year Section 8.” 37 C.F.R. §2.161(g); TMEP §1604.12(c).
Examples of specimens for goods are tags, labels, instruction manuals, containers, photographs that show the mark on the actual goods or packaging, or displays associated with the actual goods at their point of sale. See TMEP §§904.03 et seq. Examples of specimens for services are signs, photographs, brochures, website printouts or advertisements that show the mark used in the actual sale or advertising of the services. See TMEP §§1301.04 et seq.
