IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS
Applicant has classified “chemical preparations for automotive use, namely, lubricating oils, greases” in International Class 01; however, the proper classification is International Class 04. Therefore, applicant may respond by (1) adding International Class 04 to the application and reclassifying these goods and/or services in the proper international class, (2) deleting “chemical preparations for automotive use, namely, lubricating oils, greases” from the application, or (3) deleting the remainder of the items in the identification and reclassifying the specified goods and/or services in the proper international class. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.86(a), 6.1; TMEP §§1403.02 et seq. If applicant adds one or more international classes to the application, applicant must comply with the multiple-class requirements specified in this Office action. Applicant may adopt the following identification and classification of goods:
Class 01: products for engine repair and maintenance, namely, chemical additives for internal combustion engines, namely, anti-knock substances for internal combustion engines, and anti-leak substances for internal combustion engines, namely, automobile power steering system leak sealants, internal combustion engine leak sealants, automobile cooling system leak sealants, engine oil leak sealant, radiator system leak sealant; chemical additives for coolants; chemical additives for fuel; coolants for vehicle engines and marine systems; chemical compositions, namely, additives for automotive cooling systems and transmissions, fuel injection cleaner, chemical additive for internal combustion engine fuel injectors, and chemical additives for automotive engine maintenance, namely, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, clutch fluid, cooling system fluids; chemical engine treatment preparations for automotive use, namely, oil additives, fuel system cleaners, coolants, radiator fluids, fuel additives, transmission additives, power steering additives, gear and axle additives, and radiator additives

MULTIPLE CLASS APPLICATION ADVISORY
(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(s) already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule). The application identifies goods and/or services that are classified in at least two classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only one class(es). 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.
