Trademark Basic Facts
GOODS AND/OR SERVICES
You must list the specific goods/services for which
registration is sought, regardless of the basis
for the application. For information on "basis,"
see BASIS FOR FILING.
If based on use in commerce, you must already be
using the mark in commerce on or in connection with
all the goods and/or services listed.
If based on intent to use and/or a foreign application
or registration, you must have a bona fide intention
to use the mark in commerce on or in connection
with all the listed goods and/or services.
When specifying the goods and/or services, use
clear, concise terms, i.e., common commercial names
and language that the general public easily understands.
If you fail to list any recognizable goods or services,
we will return your application and refund your
fee.
Please note that the terms in the classification
listing of goods and services in the "International
Schedule of Classes of Goods and Services"
are generally too broad and should not be used alone
as an identification. Also, an international class
number alone is never an acceptable listing. For
a listing of acceptable wording for goods and services,
see the USPTO’s Acceptable Identification
of Goods and Services Manual, at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/doc/gsmanual.
Can I change the goods and/or services
after filing my application?
You can clarify or limit the goods and/or
services. However, you may not expand or broaden
the identification of goods and/or services after
filing the application.
