(a) The secretary may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to establish:

1. (1) a classification of goods and services for convenience of administration of this chapter but not to limit or extend an applicant's or registrant's rights; and

2. (2) a single electronic application for registration of a mark that:

   1. (A) may include each good upon which a mark is used;
   2. (B) may include each service with which a mark is used; and

   3. (C) must indicate the appropriate class or classes of the goods or services.

      To the extent practical, the classification of goods or services should conform to the classification of goods or services adopted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

(b) If a single electronic application includes goods or services that fall within multiple classes, the secretary may require payment of a fee for each class.
