    Failure to complete the form correctly or to provide all the requested information will result in the application being 
    returned.

    provide  all  requested  information,  use  additional  pages  as  required,  numbering  to  correspond  to  the  item.  Other

    class of services. Specimens of use are required because they show that the mark is actually  in use in commerce and
    demonstrate  the  manner  in  which  the  mark  is  being  seen  by  the  public.  Artwork  not  clearly  connected  to  any  use  in 
    commerce  does  not  constitute  a  specimen  of  use.  Applications  submitted  with  only  such  artwork  meant  to  satisfy  the 
    specimen of use requirement will be rejected.

         children.

    Item 5 Describe what goods or services the mark is meant to indicate the source of.  Be as specific as possible.

     • “as a logo to appear on a website, on the sides of service trucks, and on staff apparel to promote lawn
       services”;
     • “as a logo to appear on product packaging”;
     • “as a slogan to introduce or promote the sports segment of a TV news program”;
     • “as an insignia on signage, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, coolers, pennants, and additional promotional
       items to promote school sports programs”

Item 8 Describe the proposed mark in sufficient detail such that a person who has not seen the mark would be able 
       to  comprehend  what  it  looks  like  after  reading  the  description.  The  description  should  include  any  colors

       experienced in  trademark application prosecution.  If the first use of the mark in commerce was outside
       the State of Iowa, then also give  the date of   that first use and the name of the state in which   it occurred.

       part of the proposed mark has been filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, this section 
       must be completed. 

Item 12 In reviewing the proposed mark, if the possibility exists that the mark may be rejected as descriptive or 
       misdescriptive of the goods or services, the applicant may submit with the application such documentation
       or other evidence, as provided in Iowa Code section 548.102(5)(b), to establish that the mark has acquired 
       "secondary meaning" - in other words, that the public       has come to associate the applied-for mark with a
       single source or producer.
