`
`DENTIFICATION OF GOODS
`
`The wording “ELECTRONIC HAIR AND BEARD TRIMMERS” in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified
`because it does not put consumers on notice as to the precise nature of the applicant’s goods. TMEP §1402.01. (cid:160) Applicant may substitute the
`
`Class 8 – ELECTRIC hair and beard trimmers
`
`In the identification of goods, applicant must use the common commercial or generic names for the goods, be as complete and specific
`as possible, and avoid the use of indefinite words and phrases.(cid:160) If applicant uses indefinite words such as “accessories,” “components,”

`
`Please note that, while the identification of goods may be amended to clarify or limit the goods, adding to the goods or broadening the
`scope of the goods is not permitted.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.(cid:160) Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include
`goods that are not within the scope of the goods set forth in the present identification.
