JVC’s Central Bank of
Descriptive and Generic Terms

At the request of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), JVC has created a central bank of terms that are descriptive or generic to the jewelry industry, and which should not be approved for trademark protection without a disclaimer. JVC developed its central bank of descriptive and generic terms to help educate trademark examiners who review trademark applications. This list is now available to the jewelry industry.
