| (a) The application must clearly and concisely identify
the goods and/or services on or in connection with which the applicant
uses the mark in commerce.
(b) The description of goods and/or services must use
common or generic terms or phrases to describe applicant's goods and/or
services. Do not include highly technical language or a reference
to a federally or state registered mark.
(c) Each description of goods and/or services must
be limited to a single class. If the applicant seeks to register a
mark in multiple classes, the application must include a separate
description of goods and/or services for each class.
(d) An application that contains a description of goods
and/or services that is broad or ambiguous enough to fall into more
than one class will be rejected. The applicant will be required to
more narrowly specify the goods and/or services in connection with
which the mark is being used. For example, "publication" is not an
acceptable description of goods and/or services because it is not
specific enough to identify the goods and/or services with which the
mark is being used, e.g., downloadable publications (Class 09), educational
publications (Class 16), online publications (Class 41).
