MULTIPLE CLASSES – ADDITIONAL FEES REQUIRED
The application identifies goods and/or services that are classified in at least FIVE classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only THREE class(es). In a multiple-class application, a fee for each class is required. 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a)(2), (b)(2); TMEP §§810.01, 1403.01. For more information about adding classes to an application, see the Multiple-class Application webpage.
Therefore, applicant must either (1) restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid, or (2) submit the fees for each additional class.
The fee for adding classes to a TEAS Standard application is $275 per class. See 37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(1)(iii). For more information about adding classes to an application, see the Multiple-class Application webpage.
(1) List the goods and/or services by their international class number in consecutive numerical order, starting with the lowest numbered class.

The application identifies goods and/or services that are classified in at least FIVE classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only THREE 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.
