The following issues were outlined in communication with George Pappas on May 1, 2003.

Identification of Goods

The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite because the word "publications" is too broad and the subject matter of the publications is unclear. The applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate: TMEP section 1402.

“Publications, namely bulletin inserts for church congregations in the field of promoting Christian stewardship.” International Class 16.
