What is a proper specimen for use of a mark with services?
A specimen for a mark used in connection with services must show the mark used in the sale or advertising for the services. You may submit a sign, a brochure about the services, an advertisement for the services, a business card or stationery showing the mark in connection with the services or a photograph showing the mark as used in rendering or advertising the services. There must be some reference to the type of services rendered on the specimen, i.e., not just a display of the mark itself. For example, if the mark sought to be registered is “XYZ,” a business card that only shows the mark “XYZ” would not be acceptable. A business card that states “XYZ REAL ESTATE” would be acceptable.
