If examiners think that a range of the goods and services listed in one class is too wide, the examiner would issue a ground for refusal under Principal paragraph of Article 3 (1).

Because they doubt whether the holders will actually use the trademark use on all of the designated goods and services in Japan.

And all designated goods and services are given similar group cords.

If similar group cords in one class are over 22, the ground for refusal Principal paragraph of Article 3 (1) would be issued automatically.

Also, if similar group cords in class 35, “retail and wholesale services”, are over 1, the ground refusal Principal paragraph of Article 3 (1) would be issued automatically.

To resolve the ground, we need to limit designated goods and services, or to file an intention to use and a business plan.
