| Class | Description | Status | First use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 029 | International Class ("IC") 029: This class covers all variations of standard dried, dehydrated, or processed fruits. The addition of salt, salt brine, or lemon seasoning does not change the classification; it remains a processed fruit product. Chili Peanuts consists of processed, roasted, or flavored peanuts where the nut remains the primary component. Under the Nice Classification system, pulses and nuts prepared for human consumption fall squarely within IC 29. Adding a chili seasoning, salt, or spice coating does not change this designation because the core component remains a processed nut. Saladitos Con Chile is salted Dried Plums or prunes with chili seasoning. Saladitos Con Chile belongs in IC 29. Because the core ingredient is a fruit (dried plums or prunes) that has been processed and seasoned, it fits perfectly into the IC29, which includes preserved, frozen, dried, and cooked fruits. The addition of chili seasoning or salt does not change this classification Saladitos (Salted Prunes) belong in IC 29 because the core ingredient is a dried fruit. The product is categorized under processed, preserved, and dried fruits rather than snacks or confectionery. Seasonings do not alter the biological core of the snack. | PARTIALLY PAID | Aug 1, 2018 |
| 030 | IC 030 covers staple foods of plant origin, prepared for consumption or conservation, as well as auxiliaries intended for the improvement of the flavor of food. Cintaroos sour fantacy [Fruit-Flavored Licorice ("Liquorice") candy] belongs squarely in IC 030. Under the Nice Classification system, all sugar-based candies, confectionery, and licorice products fall under Class 30. All sugar-based confections, licorice ribbons, and sour candy belts belong in this category, regardless of their fruit flavorings. Cintaroos sour Strawberry: Fruit-flavored licorice candy falls under IC 030. All sugar-base classifies all general confectionery, sweets, and candy products within this category. Even though it is fruit-flavored, it remains a sugar-based confection rather than a processed fruit product. | PARTIALLY PAID | Aug 1, 2018 |
