Clarification of Identification and Classification of Goods and Services Required
Sample Amended Identification
A sample amended identification is set forth below, which applicant may adopt, if accurate to describe applicant’s goods and/or services. Wording in italic type represents items in the identification that require clarification. Bold italic type indicates changes to applicant’s original identification. Strikethrough marking indicates wording that must be deleted. Wording in [brackets] following a
fill in the blank provides guidance and examples of acceptable amendments. For example, if the original identification is “clothing,” and the
suggestion is “clothing, namely, ____ [specify items in this class, e.g., shirts, pants and coats]”, applicant may amend the identification to “clothing,
namely, shirts, pants and coats” in the response to the office action.
International Class 9: _____ [specify format in this class, e.g., Downloadable] computer software, used for analyzing imaging data for screening patients and case planning for left atrial appendage closure procedures
International Class 42: _____ [specify format in this class, e.g., Providing temporary use of online, non-downloadable] computer software used for analyzing imaging data for screening patients and case planning for left atrial appendage closure procedures
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.
Applicant may amend the identification to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but not to broaden or expand the goods and/or services beyond those in the original application or as acceptably amended. See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Generally, any deleted goods and/or services may not later be reinserted. See TMEP §1402.07(e).
Multiple Class Application Requirements
The application identifies goods and/or services in more than one international class; therefore, applicant must satisfy all the requirements below for each international class based on Trademark Act Section 1(b):
(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.
See 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
For an overview of the requirements for a Section 1(b) multiple-class application and how to satisfy the requirements online using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) form, see the Multiple-class Application webpage.
