[E-trademarks] Converting Goods/Services to Avoid Surcharge - 44(d)/44(e)

[Orvis]

The Trademark Office appears to be pretty liberal when recognizing priority. I've never seen a case challenging priority, but I would appreciate if anyone has one.

Unless the goods listing is really small, I don't think I can revise goods fast enough to make up for the additional attorney time.
