<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi everyone, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m a bit stuck with a new application. The client will be selling gift baskets with a variety of goods. There will be selling several different gift baskets, each with different products inside.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">They will not be selling the items individually.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The gift basket will be sold under TRADEMARK, but each item within the gift basket won’t be individually marked with TRADEMARK.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Items that will be included in the baskets span multiple classes (e.g., candles, shirts, lotions, candies, tea/coffee, etc.).
<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As you all know, the item “gift baskets” itself isn’t a pre-approved item because the proper classification will depend on what’s inside. However, I’m having trouble finding a pre-approved item/items for
the “gift basket” itself (with goods to be specified) in each applicable class. We’ve identified “gift baskets containing non-medicated bath preparations and cosmetic preparations” in Class 03, which is ok for that class, but there’s nothing that I’m able
to find for the other classes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There’s also “on-line retail store services featuring {<i>gift baskets comprised primarily of…</i>} in Class 35, but that item is for services – it’s ok, but I’d also like to capture the goods themselves.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">What’s the best practice here? Include the goods themselves in the application that will be included in the gift baskets (even though each item not individually branded) or include the online retail store
services in Class 35 with customized language to capture the types of goods that will be in the baskets? Or both?
