Trademark Class List & Classification Services by Legal Workz

When registering a trademark, one of the most critical steps is correctly identifying the class of goods or services your brand represents. The Trademark Registry uses a system of 45 classes (45 international classes) to categorize all goods and services. Selecting the correct class is not a trivial task—it is the foundation of a strong trademark application and is crucial for securing your brand's legal protection. At Legal Workz, we provide expert guidance to help you navigate the Trademark Class List and classify your brand accurately.

What Are Trademark Classes?

The Trademark Class List is a standardized system that groups similar goods and services into distinct categories:

• Classes 1 to 34 are for Goods: (e.g., chemicals, machinery, food products, clothing).
• Classes 35 to 45 are for Services: (e.g., advertising, real estate, legal services, education).

Why is Correct Classification Essential?

Incorrectly classifying your trademark can lead to significant problems and risks:

• Application Rejection: The Trademark Registry will object to your application if it finds that your chosen class does not align with your business activities.
• Weakened Protection: If you fail to register your mark in all relevant classes, a competitor could register and use your brand name for a related product or service, leading to brand dilution and confusion.
• Time-Consuming Process: A discrepancy in classification can lead to a lengthy and costly objection process.
