New Trademarks Examination Guide on Cheeses/Processed Meats


The USPTO has issued a new examination guide titled Marks Including Geographic Wording that Does Not Indicate Geographic Origin of Cheeses and Processed Meats. The guide sets out procedures for examining applications for cheeses and processed meats in which the mark includes geographic wording that does not indicate geographic origin, but otherwise may be a generic designation for such goods.

The guide can be found here
