Trademark Goods and Services Class Codes
Trademark is a sign, symbol or mark used to distinguish between the goods sold by two or more builders. Once registered the registration gives the owner the right to guard their trademark. The production of goods and services are grouped into different classes. Each class requires a diverse registration. This is a classification of almost 80,000 products and services.
Nice Classification (NCL): Products (Classes 1-34), Services (Classes 35-45)
The Nice Classification (NCL) is an international system used for categorizing goods and services in trademark registration. This classification is crucial for organizing trademarks according to the nature of the products or services they represent.
The NCL system divides goods and services into 45 distinct categories, with Classes 1-34 designated for products and Classes 35-45 for services. Identifying the correct class is essential before filing a trademark application, as protection is limited to the class under which the trademark is registered.
If a trademark is intended to cover both products and services across multiple classes, separate applications must be filed for each class. This ensures that trademark protection is extended to all relevant goods and services associated with the trademark.
Understanding the Nice Classification system helps streamline the trademark registration process and ensures comprehensive protection across various categories of goods and services.
