Understanding trademark classes is the first and most crucial step in filing for TM registration. Choosing the wrong class can lead to rejection, delays, or limited protection. At AMD LAW INDIA, we help you navigate the complete trademark classification system so your business is covered exactly where it needs to be.
When applying for a trademark in India, you must classify your goods or services under specific trademark registration classes. The classification is based on the Nice Classification system, which categorizes trademarks into 45 different classes – 34 for goods and 11 for services.
Each class represents a category of product or service. Filing your application under the correct class ensures your brand is protected in the intended industry.
Your trademark is only protected within the class(es) you’ve selected.
Proper classification avoids overlaps with similar trademarks in unrelated industries.
It helps authorities and brand owners monitor and oppose conflicting trademarks.
Whether you’re in tech, fashion, manufacturing, or consulting, choosing the correct trademark classes is non-negotiable for comprehensive protection.
India follows the Nice Classification, which includes:
1. Classes 1–34: For goods like chemicals, machinery, clothing, food, etc.
2. Classes 35–45: For services such as advertising, education, legal, IT, and more.
1. Class 9: Electronics and software
2. Class 25: Clothing and apparel
3. Class 35: Advertising and business management
4. Class 41: Education and entertainment services
Need help understanding which class fits your business? Our experts will assist you in choosing the right category from the complete trademark classification list.
Many applicants unknowingly register in an incorrect class, which can invalidate the trademark protection or leave the brand vulnerable to infringement.
Some businesses offer a mix of goods and services, leading to confusion about how many classes they need.
