Send drawings flat, protected by a sheet of heavy binder’s board; 
or rolled in a suitable mailing tube. Do not fold. 
Applicants should employ competent draftsmen to make their 
drawings. 
The office will furnish the drawings at cost, as promptly as its 
draftsmen can make them, for applicants who can not otherwise con- 
veniently procure them. 
(3) A petition and statement (which may be combined) ad- 
dressed to the Commissioner of Patents and signed by the owner of 
the mark, whether individual (see Form A, p. 12), firm (see Form B, 
p. 12), corporation or association (see Form C, p. 13), requesting 
registration and giving the full name, residence, postal address, place 
of business, and citizenship of applicant (if a corporation, the place 
where incorporated), indicating the specific goods on which the mark 
is used, with the title of the official class (see p. 22) including such 
goods; the date the mark was first used, and the manner in which it is 
applied to the goods. If the mark is to be registered under the act 
of March 19, 1920, the statement should so indicate. (See Form F, 
p. 14.) The office may require the statement to include a description 
of the mark, but this is usually not necessary. If registration is 
asked under the 10-year proviso use Forms D or E, page 14. 
If the mark is composite including unregistrable matter, such 
matter must be disclaimed apart from the mark as shown. 
(4) A verified declaration that the applicant is the owner of the 
mark and has the exclusive right to use it, and that it has actually 
already been used in interstate or foreign commerce, and that the 
drawing and specimens show the mark as actually already used. 
(See Forms L, M, N, P, pp. 15, 17, 18.) 
(5) A fee of $10. 
The application should be plainly written on widely separate lines 
and on but one side of the paper. All interlineations and erasures 
must be clearly referred to in marginal or footnotes on the same sheet 
of peper, and a wide margin must always be reserved upon the left- 
hand side of each page. 
All the papers embraced in the application should be attached 
together; otherwise a letter must accompany each part, accurately 
and clearly connecting it with the other parts of the application. 
An application will not be accepted for examination until all its 
parts are received. 
Applications are numbered in regular order and the applicant 
informed of the serial number of his application, which should always 
be given in every communication. 
APPLICATIONS CAN NOT BE EXAMINED OUT OF THEIR REGULAR 
ORDER, except as provided by the rules. Members of Congress 
can neither examine nor act in trade-mark cases. Applicants should
