IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
Identifications of goods and/or services should generally be comprised of generic everyday wording for the goods and/or services, and exclude proprietary or potentially-proprietary wording. See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.09. A registered mark indicates origin in one particular party and so may not be used to identify goods or services that originate in a party other than that registrant.

Applicant may replace such wording with the following, if appropriate: “portable battery chargers for personal digital electronic devices”.
