806.05 Review of Basis Prior to Publication or Issue
If an application claims more than one basis, the examining attorney must ensure that the record clearly and accurately shows which goods are covered by which basis before approving the application for publication for opposition or registration on the Supplemental Register. If there are any errors, the examining attorney must ensure that the TRAM database is corrected.
When a single class has different bases for goods or services within the same class, the USPTO uses parentheses to indicate the specific basis for specific goods or services. When entering this information into the TRAM database, the examining attorney or LIE must refer to "use in commerce" or "intent to use" rather than referring to the statutory citation.
Example: Class 025: (Based on Use in Commerce) PANTS; (Based on Intent to Use) SHIRTS.
