"Two decisions determine whether your trademark application succeeds or fails: choosing the correct classes and submitting acceptable specimens. File in the wrong class, and your actual business activities are not protected. Submit the wrong specimen, and your application gets rejected. This guide explains exactly how the 45-class system works, which classes apply to entrepreneurs and online businesses, what specimens the USPTO actually accepts, and how to prepare yours for approval."

Why Trademark Applications Get Rejected
Wrong class = no protection.
The USPTO has 45 trademark classes. File in the wrong one, and your actual business activities are not protected—even if your application is approved. You have a certificate that covers something you don't actually sell.
Bad specimen = automatic rejection.
The USPTO requires proof your mark is actually in use. Submit the wrong type of specimen—or one that doesn't show the mark correctly—and your application gets rejected. Most entrepreneurs have no idea what actually qualifies.
Guessing costs time and money.
Every rejection means delays, office action responses, and potentially re-filing with new fees. Getting classes and specimens right the first time saves months of back-and-forth with the USPTO.
How to Use This Guide
Keep this guide handy throughout the filing process—class and specimen questions come up repeatedly.
Identify Your Classes
Start with Part One to understand how the class system works. Use the class selection framework to list everything you sell, categorize each offering, and prioritize based on your budget.
Prepare Your Specimens
Move to Part Two to understand specimen requirements. Find your business type and see exactly what specimens work. Use the specimen preparation checklist to ensure your submission meets all requirements.
File With Confidence
With the right classes identified and acceptable specimens prepared, submit your application knowing you've addressed the two most common reasons for rejection.
