After reviewing the marks retrieved, the user may need to continue the search by looking for the heads of men, silhouettes of men or colonial men in the appropriate classes. After reviewing the marks retrieved, the user can remove the class limits and continue the search. A broad search could be constructed by asking for all men and all women in International Classes 11 and 21 or U.S. Classes 13 and 33. Trademarks composed merely of type print, block or stylized lettering are not coded since they do not contain design elements. Trademarks containing design figurative elements are coded under the appropriate first, second and third level codes.
Some marks contain more than one design figurative element.
Borders consisting solely of single line circles, ovals, squares or rectangles, or such bordering shapes in solid black, which surround marks consisting solely of letters, words or numbers are carriers and are only coded in 29.01.05. Certain design elements contain component parts. Where a design element contains a nondistinctive component part, the entire design, and not the component part, is coded. If there is doubt as to whether a particular design element should be coded, code the design element in question. If no specific code section exists for the specific part, it is coded wherever the object as a whole is coded.
