Version 7.1
Mark Information

Before the USPTO can register your mark, exactly what the mark is must be clear. You may present your mark in one ofthe following ways: (1) standard characters, if not claiming a particular font
style, size, and/or color; (2) special form, if the mark includes a design or word(s) combined with a design, or is displayed in a particular font style, size, and/or color; or (3) non-visual sound mark (for
this type ofmark, you should include a musical score, and an audio file, as well as a detailed mark description). Do not upload your specimen ofuse (sample ofacmal use, e.g., a label or advertisement)
here. This will be required in a different part ofthe form (ifappropriate for your filing basis). WAR.J'\'ING: You may submit only one mark per application, ifyour application includes multiple marks,
it may be denied a filing date or refused registration.
When you click on one of the three circles presented below, and follow the specific instructions, the form will automatically create a separate page that displays the mark for which you are applying or
permits the applicant owner/holder to attach an audio file for a sound mark. Please carefully review this page prior to final submission to the USPTO, to ensure that it accurately depicts or represents
your mark. You may not be penuitted to change or correct your mark after filing this application. While minor changes in the mark may sometimes be permitted, changes that result in a material
alteration of tl,e mark as originally filed will result in the USPTO issuing a refusal on that ground.
WARNING: AFTER YOU FINISH SEARCHING THE USPTO DAT ABASE FOR POTENTIALLY CONFLICTING MARKS, EVEN IF YOU THINK THERE ARE NO CONFLICTING MARKS,
DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOUR MARK WILL AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER. AFTER YOU FILE THE APPLICATION, THE USPTO WILL CONDUCT ITS OWN DATABASE SEARCH
AND COMPLEX LEGAL REVIEW, AND MAY REFUSE TO REGISTER YOUR MARK ON THAT OR ANOTHER BASIS.

Collective Membership Mark Form, Principal Register
Version 7.1
Identification
An identification of goods/services is not appropriate in connection with a collective membership mark. The purpose of a collective membership mark is to indicate membership in an organization.
Appropriate identification language would be, "to indicate membership in an organization (association, club or the like)...," followed by a phrase indicating the narure of the organization or association,
e.g., "to indicate membership in an organization of computer professionals."

i

You may indicate the nalllfe of the collective membership organization by specifying the area of activity of the members (e.g., they may sell lumber, or cosmetics, or food, or they may provide services
as engineers or accountants). If goods/services are not directly involved, the nature of the collective membership organization can be indicated by specifying the organization's type or purpose (such as a
service or social club, a political society, a trade association, a beneficial fraternal organization, or the like). Detailed descriptions of collective membership organization's objectives or activities are not
necessary. It is sufficient if the identification indicates broadly either the field of activity as related to the goods/services, or the general type or purpose of the collective membership organization.
