I have a question about the classes a trademark can cover.
I'm going to file a trademark for a "pay-per-view" service that can be accessed via a television or through the internet. Now, this falls directly into category "38" (telecommunications). However, in the future, I will also include the following:
1. distribution of television programs for others; providing
on-line interactive computer databases of information in the field of entertainment
2. data processing; retail store services, namely on-line retail store services featuring general merchandise; and retail store services, available through computer communications and interactive televisions featuring general merchandise
Now, my question is this. If I take my original description (not shown here), along with the two description lines above, combine them all into 1 paragraph and file for 1 trademark under 1 section ("38"), have I pretty much defined what I'm intending the trademark to represent, and also made the trademark pretty-much untouchable? OR, would I be safer to file the 1 trademark under 3 different classes? (Original description not shown here in section "38", Line 1 above in section "35", and Line 2 above in section "41" (entertainment))
I want to protect myself and the trademark the best I can, however I only have a little bit of money. If filing the 1 trademark in 3 classes is redundant, then I'd prefer to save my money. But, if there is a loophole that somebody could use to be able to use the mark legally, I
would prefer to prevent that.
Thank you in advance for your help.
