Appropriate Specimens for Goods and/or Services: A trademark specimen should be a label, tag, or container for the goods, or a display associated with the goods. See TMEP §§904.03 et seq. A service mark specimen should be an advertisement, sign, brochure, website printout or other image that shows the mark used in the actual sale or advertising of the services.

Fraudulent statements may result in registration being cancelled: Applicants must ensure that statements made in filings to the USPTO are accurate, as inaccuracies may result in the cancellation of any issued trademark registration.  The lack of a bona fide intention to use the mark with ALL goods and/or services listed in an application or the lack of actual use on all goods and/or services for which use is claimed could jeopardize the validity of the registration, possibly resulting in its cancellation.
