Refining Trademark Searches (cont'd)
Goods and Services descriptions may be used to further narrow a search after refining by a class code. The applicant for the trademark furnishes the description of the product or service that the mark represents or is intended to represent. We must make sure to use synonyms, truncation (primarily for plurals), and proximity operators. There is no standard vocabulary for goods/services descriptions. 
For our search we will enter the following search strategy in the command text box:
select gs=(toy or toys)
We have narrowed our search now to include international class code for toys and goods and services description for toys. Now we'll combine our sets.
Select s1 and (s2 or s3)
Finally, we will limit to only active marks. The search strategy looks like this:
Select s4/active
We have narrowed our search to active marks only. These trademarks will have Kirkbi as their owner and be assigned to the "Toys and Sporting Goods (28) class. They will also have some indication of toys in the Goods and Services descriptions.
