A while ago, I raised an issue about goods/services description, and was informed that the PTO
<div><TmIdSuggest@Uspto> can often reply (accept or not) within a few days. That might permit</div>
<div>your preferred, overcome 2(d), g/s to be used from the ID Manual.</div>

<div>I\u2019ve been telling clients, after 17Jan2025 USPTO fees change, with more uncertainty for objections and</div>
<div>resultant additional government fees. I also suggest for maintenaaace and new applications available </div>
<div>now (before 10Jan2025, consider having us file now.</div>

<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">About the absolutely insane and absurd subcharge that an awful lot of our clients will need to pay to use the freeform g/s field in applications starting next year? And how are you presenting
the highly unpredictable \u201cdeficiency\u201d amounts in estimates?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">(I still can\u2019t believe they\u2019re doing this when it\u2019s basically the only way to avoid a 2(d) refusal in many cases where the broader definition makes no darned sense. Or when the broader
category doesn\u2019t include a field option?)<o:p></o:p></div>
