1402.08 Moving Goods and Services Between Companion Applications

If an applicant has filed separate applications to register the same mark, the applicant may amend to move items of goods or services from one application to another, if the application from which the item is to be moved was filed at least as early as the application to which it is to be moved. Moving goods between files in this way may only be done when the applications involved have not yet been published in the Official Gazette. Items of goods/services can be moved between files only in applications filed under §1 or §44 of the Trademark Act. The applicant cannot amend to move items of goods/services to or from a §66(a) application.
