These short titles are not an official part of the international classification. Their purpose is to provide a means by which the general content of numbered international classes can be quickly identified. Therefore the titles selected consist of short terms which generally correspond to the major content of each class but which are not intended to be more than merely suggestive of the content. Because of their nature these titles will not necessarily disclose the classification of specificitems. The titles are not designed to be used for classification but only as information to assist in theidentification of numbered classes. For determining classification of particular goods and services and for full disclosure of the contents of international classes, it is necessary to refer to the Alphabetical List of Goods and Services and to the names of international classes and the Explanatory Notes in the volume entitled "International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks" (4th ed. 1983), published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The full names of international classes appear in Section 6.1 of the Trademark Rules of Practice. 37 CFR § 6.1.The short titles are printed in the OFFICIAL GAZETTE in association with the international class numbers under MARKS PUBLISHED FOR OPPOSITION, Sections 1 and 2, under TRADEMARK REGISTRATIONS ISSUED, PRINCIPAL REGISTER, Section 1, and under SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER, Sections 1 and 2.The international trademark classification was adopted by the United States as its system of classification as of September 1, 1973 (see TMEP section 1401.02 and 911 O.G. TM 210, June 26, 1973).The use of short titles was announced in the Official Gazette of July 16, 1974 (924 O.G. TM 155).
