·         Marks identical to name, flag, national emblem, medal of a country, etc.

·         Marks that represent racial discrimination

·         Marks identical to the name or emblem of some other organization

·         Marks that relate the generic name, term, or type of product, for instance, sunglasses, battery, etc.
