The wording “providing business intelligence services to others in the development, marketing, and distribution of life, health, long-term care, final expense, and commercial insurance products and retirement products, providing insurance related lead generation services” in the identification of services is indefinite and must be clarified because the wording “distribution of” does not make clear the nature of the services and the term “final expense” in indefinite. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
“Business development services, namely, providing business intelligence services to others in the marketing and distribution of advertising materials in the fields of life, health, long-term care, funeral expenses, and commercial insurance products and retirement products; Providing demand creation and lead generation activities and services in the field of insurance” in International Class 35.

See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
“manage services in the nature of providing outsourced business processes and services to third parties, namely, third party business administration services in the fields of insurance, retirement, and investment products and call centers”

MULTIPLE CLASS APPLICATION REQUIREMENT
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 2 classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only 1 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 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
