📘 What Are Trademark Classes?
Trademark classes are legal categories that define the types of goods or services your brand represents.
- Classes 1–34 cover physical goods/products
- Classes 35–45 cover services
When you register a trademark, it is protected only in the classes you apply under. If someone registers the same name in a different class, your protection won’t apply there unless you also registered under that class.

A Complete Guide to All 45 Trademark Classes in India
India’s trademark classification system divides all goods and services into 45 classes based on the NICE International Classification. Classes 1 to 34 cover physical goods across industries including chemicals, textiles, pharmaceuticals, food, electronics and vehicles. Classes 35 to 45 cover services including advertising, finance, technology, education, healthcare and legal services. Every trademark application must specify the relevant class or classes.
How to Pick the Right Trademark Class for Your Business
The most important step in trademark registration is identifying the correct class for your goods or services. First, identify the nature of your primary business output. If you manufacture or sell products, search Classes 1-34. If you provide services, search Classes 35-45. Use the NICE Classification headings to find the closest match. Remember that many businesses operate across multiple classes and should file in all relevant categories for full protection.
Most Popular Trademark Classes for Indian Businesses
In India, the most commonly filed trademark classes include Class 35 (advertising and retail services), Class 9 (software and electronics), Class 25 (clothing and fashion), Class 5 (pharmaceuticals and health products), Class 29 and 30 (food and beverages), Class 41 (education and training services), and Class 42 (technology and IT services).
