proposed for the identification of goods and services. If there is wording in the applicant’s version of the identification of goods and services which should be
removed, it will be shown with a line through it such as this: strikethrough. When making its amendments, applicant should enter them in standard font, not in

ATTORNEY BAR CREDENTIALS REQUIRED
Failure to comply with this requirement is grounds for refusing registration. In re Harley, 119 USPQ2d 1755, 1757-58 (TTAB 2016); TMEP §814.

See In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1457-58 (TTAB 2004).

Open the correct TEAS response form and enter the serial number, answer “yes” to wizard question #3, and on the “Additional Statement(s)” page in the “Miscellaneous Statement” field (1) explain the documentation provided and (2) click the button below the text box to attach evidence.
