Questionnaire for nationwide registration in the USA or other countries

This is an easy-to-answer and interesting questionnaire about your trademark. If you cannot answer a question, just skip to the next one (unless mandatory).
Although you have to be careful filling the following form for obvious reasons, do not feel apprehensive because the information entered in the form is not going to be directly used for the purpose of preparing the official application. It will be carefully reviewed for completeness and accuracy by the team in charge and questions will be asked, if necessary, to have the clarifications needed for the preparation of the official application. Also, at the end of this form, you will find a text box where you can ask particular questions, or write what you think we need to know in regard to your trademark. So, let’s get started!

Don't write, for example, “Clothing”, but be more specific and write, “T-shirts, pants and socks”, or "Clothing, namely, t-shirts, pants and socks". To have ideas of the way you should provide a product or service description, you can follow this link https://tmidm.uspto.gov/id-master-list-public.html and get to the USPTO identifications/descriptions of goods and services manual. Use keywords related to your product(s) or service(s), and retrieve ACCEPTABLE identifications/descriptions. It is usually a great guide also for other countries. You can then copy and paste the suitable description(s) here.
