What a trademark class means

Trademark classes help separate products and services into standard buckets used during filing. Goods fall into classes 1 to 34 and services fall into classes 35 to 45, which is why class choice is one of the first practical decisions before an application is prepared.

Why class selection matters

A brand can be distinctive and still run into trouble if the class or description does not match the actual business activity. Founders often search broad words first, then narrow down to the class headings and the wording that best fits the real offer.

How to use our class finder

Search by product, service, industry term, class number or known reference wording. The goal is not just to find a number, but to build a filing description that reflects what the business genuinely sells or delivers.
