What is a Trademark Class?
There are 45 different Trademark Classes, which are categorized on an international system.
Each Class covers a different category of goods or services.
Proper selection of goods/services and Classes is an important part of the trademark application process.
This step requires an attorney’s advisement. You do not have to select your Classes or goods/services on your own as this requires legal analysis.
Even if you research on the internet and come to us with a list of which goods/services and/or Classes you would like, we may not use this information.
We need to evaluate current best practices at the USPTO and recently approved language for goods/services listings in your industry.
How many Classes can I get a Trademark in?
In the United States, there is no limit to how many Classes you apply for in your trademark application.
Each additional Class will come with an additional USPTO fee and service fee.
For reference, most of our clients file in 1-4 total Classes.
