Imagine you have almost completed a trademark application form and there is just a small part left: you need to introduce the list of goods and services for which protection is sought. Now, which goods and/or services should you specify? But, above all, which class and which terms would be the right ones for your trademark application?

The most likely source of problems is in drafting a list of goods and services. This requires experience. Once the trademark has been registered in a wrong class, the trademark will stay there for 10 years. The result is the wrong and defective scope of your trademark. Also, trademark offices can object to terms that lack the requirement of clarity and precision and such a deficiency will unnecessarily slow down the application procedure.

It is up to you to establish how wellprotected your trademark will be. It is immensely important to specify correct goods and services: this is the solid basis for the future of your trademark. This course will help you efficiently and securely achieve the necessary coverage for your trademark, using the correct tools and the correct formulations.
