INDEFINITE IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES
The identification of services is indefinite, with regard to the first clause in the identification, because the wording “products and services” is indefinite as it identifies services that fall into more than one classification of services. If, for example, applicant provides information in the field of consumer products, such services are properly classified in International Class 35. Furthermore, if applicant provides information regarding the reviews of the providers of services, such services would be classified in International Class 35. However, if applicant provides information in the field of environmental health services, such services would be properly classified in International Class 44. In regard to the second clause in the identification of services, applicant must indicate the purpose of applicant’s information collection services. If, for example, applicant provides a business research services wherein it collects information and customer comments, such services would be properly classified in International Class 35.
Applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:
Business research services, namely, collecting information and customer comments on human and environmental health technology, products and services, in International Class 35;
Providing technological information in the fields of human and environmental health technology products, in International Class 42; and
Providing information in the fields of human and environmental health services, in International Class 44.
