What is a proper specimen for use of a mark on goods (products)?
Normally, a specimen for a mark used on goods shows the mark on the actual goods or packaging for the goods. You may submit a tag or label for the goods, a container for the goods, a display associated with the goods, or a photograph of the goods that shows use of the mark on the goods. Invoices, announcements, order forms, bills of lading, leaflets, brochures, publicity releases, letterhead and business cards generally are NOT acceptable specimens for goods.
