2. If the trademark is to be registered with a design or device, we need an example. If the design or device includes color, it should be sent in color.
3. International Classification (it is not necessary to specify the goods) in which the mark must be filed.  Also, it is important to let you know that we have a multi-class system so a mark could be filed for more than one class in only one application form.
