Trademark Class List

 

 TRADEMARK CLASS FOR GOODS & SERVICES

 

What is Trademark Class?

According to NICE Classification Trademark is divided into 45 different classes. Out of which 34 classes are for Goods & 11 classes are for services. Government of India also considered these classifications for trademark registration. 

As it is assumed that if there is no classification of goods & anyone registered his/her trademark then no one else can use that mark for any goods or services. 

Hence it restricts others & also it’s not possible for a single person to deal in all products & services. One can be registered in one class & owner of trademark get right for that class only. 

Other can deals in other class products & can get registered for that class. Hence classification of Goods & Services is important.

 

Why should check Trademark Class? 

Before trademark registration, it's also important to check under which class product falls. We should check correct trademark class for following reasons:

1.      Trademark must be applied in correct class otherwise it may be rejected or asked for change in class.

2.      Trademark availability to be checked in that particular class only.

3.      If we deal in products fall under different class then different application need to be filed.

4.   It might be possible that any mark is registered in one class & not registered in other class. Hence that mark can get registered by someone in another class.
