What is the trade mark CLASS?
The classification
for a trademark is divided into 45 different classes. Trademark applications
can be filed in more than one class if the business's activity involves various
goods or services falling under different trademark classifications. When filing
a trademark registration application, it is important to choose the right class
of the trademark as the mark's wrong classification can hamper the registration
process. Trademark only includes exclusivity for the mark's use concerning the
class of goods or services for which the trademark is registered. Use our
eFilingCompany.com site to find the correct trademark class for your goods or
service from over 80,000 goods and services.
