What this means
The live marks span classes 9, 18, 24, 25, 28, 41. A live mark in class 9 is not the same problem as one in class 41 — the risk depends on which class you sell in. The same word can often coexist in an unrelated class, but not in the same or a coordinated one.
Classes with a live mark: Class 9 (Software / electronics / downloadable media) · Class 18 (Leather goods / bags) · Class 24 (Fabrics) · Class 25 (Clothing / footwear) · Class 28 (Games / toys / sports) · Class 41 (Education / entertainment)
