各位好,在此要帮友人问个新手/英文问题。
我友人的父亲在台湾申请了一项商标证明后,
他父亲希望略懂英文的友人帮他申请美国商标。
友人到USPTO上申请证明。
不过等英文证明寄回台湾后,他父亲发现少申请一类里的一项。
完全不懂美国商标的他不确定要如何重新申请,
写了信问当初批准的律师询问,他大意是问:
只要重新申请那一项?还是重新申请完整一份?
律师回:
Each application only covers the goods and/or services that are applied for
in connection with that specific application.
However, applications filed by the same owner are associated by common
ownership.
For example, one person may be the owner of multiple applications.
And each of those applications would likely be for different goods/and or services.
Identification of goods and/or services may be amended to clarify or limit
the goods and/or services, adding to the goods and/or services or broadening
the scope of the goods and/or services is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a);
TMEP §1402.06.
An applicant may not amend the identification to include
goods and/or services that are not within the scope of the goods and/or
services set forth in the present identification.
友人对专业回应还是不太了解,
所以想请各位帮忙,
请问他是需要申请一份包含所有goods and services?
还是说他只需要申请想要的那一项?
谢谢各位
