Step by step

What happens, in order.

  1. Flags identification wording that examiners have required applicants to amend, and suggests wording they accepted.
  2. Checks the classes against how examiners classified similar goods and services.
  3. Flags disclaimers an examiner is likely to require, and why.
  4. Checks the specimen against the reasons specimens like it were refused.
  5. Finds registered marks likely to be cited against yours, and the refusals that followed similar filings.
