N.J. Admin. Code § 17:35-4.5
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
N.J.S.A. 56:3-12 mandates that the Treasurer adopt a classification scheme that conforms with that adopted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1112. Accordingly, the USPTO classification scheme is incorporated by reference into these rules. Upon the adoption of these rules, all original and renewed trade/services mark applications filed with the Filing Office must employ the classification listed in 15 U.S.C. § 1112. The previously existing scheme used for marks registered prior to the passage of P.L. 1995, c.171 will remain in effect for those marks until they expire or are cancelled or renewed.
