    International Trademark Classification: A Guide to the Nice Agreement helps trademark and IP attorneys properly classify goods and services on trademark applications.

    It explains the forty-five Classes of goods and services adopted under the Nice Agreement, a worldwide classification system for trademark registration adhered to by more than seventy countries. Author Jessie N. Roberts sets forth the Official Text of Class Headings and the Explanatory Notes for which goods and services are included or excluded from each Class. This is followed by an examination of each item within the Class, including items for which there are no official explanations. This book can be helpful to trademark practitioners and national offices in the classification of items not included in the alphabetical list. The approach is international in scope, and is not organized from the viewpoint of any specific jurisdiction.

    This new Fourth Edition clarifies some of the Classes--particularly Classes 5, 9, and 28--and makes the Alphabetical List of the Nice Agreement more logical and useful.

    Readership: Trademark practitioners; Trademark owners; National trademark offices

  • Jessie N. Roberts, Attorney, Delos, LLC

    Jessie N. Roberts is currently with the law firm of Delos, LLC and provides consultation in the field of trademark classification and identification. She is a leading authority on the interpretation of the Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks. Ms. Roberts served as the Administrator for Trademark Identification, Classification and Practice in the Office of the Assistant Commissioner for Trademarks at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). She joined the USPTO as an Examining Attorney in 1981 and, in 1984, was promoted to the position of Senior Attorney. In 1987, Ms. Roberts became the Petitions and Classification Attorney in the Office of the Director of the Trademark Examining Groups. She represented the United States in meetings of the Preparatory Working Group and the Committee of Experts for the Nice Agreement that were held at the World Intellectual Property Organiza

    (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland.

  • "In International Trademark Classification: A Guide to the Nice Agreement, 4th Edition, Jessie Roberts continues to provide the definitive work on classification issues. As a former chair of INTA's Classification Subcommittee and a practicing trademark attorney filing in the United States and through the Madrid Protocol, I have used this work extensively. Her book is vital to anyone who may puzzle over the proper class for 'repositionable paint patches' or 'metal ladders' or how the new 10th Edition of the Nice Agreement has substantially redistributed goods from Class 9 to elsewhere based on function rather than merely having an electrical component. Her explanations provide a solid framework to the practitioner or paralegal for proper classification." 
    --Christopher Schulte, Partner, Merchant & Gould, P.C. 

    "Jessie Roberts' International Trademark Classification: A Guide to the Nice Agreement, 4th Edition is the ideal compass for all trademark applicants worldwide filing under the Nice Agreement. This book simply and clearly spells out the parameters of each class and informs the reader about the significant changes affected by the recent 10th edition of the Nice Agreement. It is an indispensable tool for private trademark practitioners and individual applicants alike. Roberts deftly takes the guessing game out of goods and services classification, and thereby facilitates the expedited prosecution of our firm's U.S. and international trademark applications." 
    --Shauna Miller Wertheim, Partner, The Marbury Law Group, PLLC. 

    "International Trademark Classification: A Guide to the Nice Agreement is the bible on the subject, and reflects Jessie Roberts' unsurpassed technical knowledge and understanding of the development and basis of the classification system. This new edition is an invaluable reference with additional commentaries on the changes under the 10th edition of the Nice Agreement, and is a 'must-have' for any trademark attorney or IP regulator." 
    --Louis Chan Ken Yu, Legal Counsel, Asia Brand Equity 
    Procter & Gamble Europe SA, Singapore Branch
