<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> I have a foreign client with multiple registrations in a foreign jurisdiction that doesn\u2019t allow multi-class registrations. The marks
are identical between these foreign registrations, only differing in the g/s descriptions. I\u2019m wondering if those could be combined into a single registration with the USPTO, claiming a §44(e) basis, and uploading the corresponding registration certificate
per class. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">I haven\u2019t found a good answer in the TMEP. Closest I\u2019ve found is §1004.02, which is a two-sentence section only saying only that \u201ca U.S. application may be based on more than one foreign registration. The applicant must meet
all requirements of the Trademark Act and rules for each foreign registration upon which the U.S. application is based, and must specify which goods/services are covered by which foreign registration.\u201d I can\u2019t tell from the plain language there or in the Lanham
Act if this allows <u>only</u> for multiple redundancies (back up your identical US registration with multiple foreign registrations) or if it allows for the consolidation of multiple foreign registrations for the same mark with the same owner.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">My gut says that the §44(e) basis won\u2019t support consolidation, as it\u2019s supposed to be a \u201ccut and paste\u201d reciprocity solution. But since the USPTO receives the same fees and does less work, maybe it would fly.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
