The pick list, referred to above, is a listing of various
descriptions of goods and services whose classification has been
approved by IP Australia. The pick list can be used if the goods
and/or services are being described using general standard
descriptions but often it does not allow for tailored or precise
descriptions. Therefore it can be useful if the Applicant wishes to
file for a simple description of goods and/or services and wishes
to minimise their costs.
