The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite. The type of travel accessories must be listed by common commercial name. The applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:

Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit the identification, additions to the identification are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.
