Introduction
Registering your trademark is the stepping stone
to market your business, and it is essential to
understand the different classes under which a
trademark is registered. There are 45 classes of
a trademark which categorise different types
of products or services. While filing for your
respective trademark, it is essential to identify
the correct class type in which your products or
services fall. Choosing a wrong class can end up
in the rejection of your application.

How many TM Classes are there?
The trademark classification helps the applicant
to be specific about the kind of business and
protect it. The World Intellectual Property
Organization WIPO follows the NICE
Classification established in 1957 to classify
goods and services in 45 different classes
according to the International marketing
standards. This classification is practised
throughout the world for filing trademarks.
The Trademark Act, 1999 takes care of the entire
trademark related queries and procedures in
India. It also follows the nice classification
for registering trademarks in different classes.
Below is a descriptive list of these
classes. Classes 1 to 34 Products. Classes 35
to 45 Services.

Points to Remember

• There are a few things which one should be aware
  of while applying for a trademark. The classes
  itself covers a variety of products and services,
  therefore one has to be particular about the
  category he/she is choosing.
• If your business deals in products then you
  require choosing from classes 1 to 34 while
  services will be in classes 35 to 45. You can
  always refer to the Nice Classification proposed
  by WIPO.
• Make sure whether you wish to trademark
  a product/service or the company name/logo. The
  class is different for a product/service than
  that for a company name/logo.
• Trademark only those products or services which
  you either market or intend to do so in the
  future.
• Choose the class which describes the finished or
  final products and not the ingredients involved
  in it.

In case you have filled the trademark
application in the wrong class it will get
rejected from the concerned authority- IP

application and complete the whole process again.
This can be troublesome for all those who are
unaware of these pitfalls.
