This article will discuss how to choose the right classes when registering your trade mark.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Are Trade Mark Classes?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A trade mark class identifies what sort of industry your goods or services fall into. They are easily distinguishable and the full list is available online. The Intellectual Property Office (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/intellectual-property-office\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">IPO<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) uses a system of classification called the Nice Classification, which is used to define the various types of goods and services provided by a business that a trade mark will protect.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a total of 45 different classes, 34 of which are goods and 11 of which are services. Each class has a title that broadly identifies what sorts of things are protected under that particular class heading. The IPO regularly updates and reviews the classes. You must select the correct class or classes in your application, as you cannot change it after you submit your application.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some examples of classifications that exist are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">metals (Class 6);<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">retail services relating to jewellery (Class 35);<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">clothing (Class 25);<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">flowers (Class 31);<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">processing of chemicals (Class 40); and<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">retail services relating to food (Class 35).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As you can see, the classes available are quite specific. However, they do overlap in some cases, which you may wish to bear in mind when selecting a class.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Purpose of Registration<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By successfully registering a trade mark, the law automatically grants you exclusivity over your trade mark, but only under the classes you select.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, if you run a food takeaway business and register your trade marks under Class 35 (retail services relating to food), no other food retailer can use your trade marks without your consent. However, if a cement manufacturer uses your trade marks, you may not benefit from automatic protection. Of course, this may not matter, as you are not in competition with cement manufacturers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But where classes overlap, you may wish to select more than one class as part of a multi-class application.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white no-underline

For instance, if you intend to branch into other markets in the future, you may want to preemptively select additional classes as part of a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/intellectual-property\/multiple-class-applications\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">multi-class application<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

The class or classes your business registers their trade mark in are important in providing the correct protection. It is important to remember that you can not amend your application after submission to the Intellectual Property Office and therefore you need to ensure all relevant classes are selected. A multi-class application will cost slightly more (\u00a350 for each additional class) but this will ensure maximum legal protection if your trade mark and business overlap several classes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help with trade mark registration, our experienced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/intellectual-property-lawyers-lp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">intellectual property lawyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
