Electronic devices, namely, network routers, wireless routers, wireless transmitters, wireless network extenders and wireless access point (WAP) devices for use with computer and mobile networks and control of wireless and wired electronic devices, namely, computing devices, mobile devices, and connected IP (IoT) devices; firmware and downloadable security software for controlling the operation of network routers and wireless routers, wireless transmitters, wireless network extenders and wireless access point devices; computer hardware; downloadable computer software and downloadable mobile application for facilitating internet access/control and monitoring network activity and security threats, namely, downloadable software that provides security monitoring, content filtering and management of wireless and wired electronic devices, namely, personal computing devices, mobile devices, and connected IP (IoT) devices; downloadable computer software for providing data security and for providing computer network security; downloadable computer software for interconnecting, managing, securing and operating local and wide area networks; downloadable computer operating software; downloadable network management and security software, namely, software for traffic prioritization, security, intrusion prevention, virtual private networks, firewalls, and identity and access control; downloadable computer software for Internet access; downloadable parental control software; downloadable computer software for wireless guest access; downloadable computer software for router setup.
For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual. See TMEP §1402.04.
Because it is possible that, when properly identified, the applicant’s goods may belong in more than one international class, information about adding classes to an application is set forth below:
Combined Applications
(1) List the goods and/or services by their international class number in consecutive numerical order, starting with the lowest numbered class.
(2) Submit a filing fee for each international class not covered by the fee already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule). The application identifies goods that are classified in at least two classes; however, applicant submitted a fee sufficient for only one class. Applicant must either submit the filing fees for the classes not covered by the submitted fees or restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid.
See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1112, 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(6)-(7), 2.34(a)(2)-(3), 2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
