[E-trademarks] Question re: New TM App - Entering IDs via Free-form Text vs. Searching ID Manual

[Sam Castree]

In the past, I have done my fair share of multiple 1-class applications for
a given mark, when one class fit the TEAS Plus requirements and another
didn't, for example.  I can't imagine that things will be any different (or
any more convenient) when the system changes over in a couple weeks.

Cheers,

Sam Castree, III
