Printed fiction books on a variety of topics 016-2016

On 07-21-2016, the bracketed wording "[only acceptable if a publishing house mark]" included in the 05-03-2012 entry "Fiction books on a variety of topics [only acceptable if a publishing house mark]" was deleted from the entry and moved to the Note field. This entry is only acceptable when used in connection with a publishing house mark. On 01-01-2021, this 05-03-2012 entry was modified by adding the word "printed" to specify the format of the goods. Effective 01-01-2021, identifications for publications that are goods must indicate if the publications are "printed," "downloadable," or "recorded on computer media" (or equivalent wording) for proper classification. Publications are classified in Class 16, if printed, and in Class 9, if downloadable or recorded on computer media. Please see TMEP §1402.03(e).
