Great post about International Classifications! This is definitely a subject that’s confusing to those just diving into the trademark pool & I think you explained it very well.

I was especially intrigued by your promise of a post about trying to classify something that’s seemingly unclassifiable. This comes up so often when dealing with folks who are either in a niche market or those who are dealing with new technology. It’s all the USPTO can do to catch up, never mind be on point with burgeoning technology.

For instance, podcast was first used in 2004 but the term didn’t make it into the USPTO Goods & Services manual until November 30, 2006 & expanded further on July 12, 2007.

Again, great post & I look forward to reading more.
