What are trademark classes?
A trademark Class is a group of products and services
grouped in terms of application, functionality and use. Internationally
accepted, this Class is used in many countries indluding the United States and
Mexico.
If your products and services belong to more than one Class,
we suggest you register your trademark in as many classes
as necessary. E.g. if you are a graphic designer, but you are also
a teacher or a design consultant, your trademark should be registered
in classes 41 (Professional Design Services) and 42 (Education
and Teaching).
On this page you will find the complete 45-trademark classes´ list.
Classes 1 to 34 refer to products, and
classes 35 to 45 refer to services. We
offer you this information so you can have an idea of how trademarks
are classified. For your convenience we professionally classify
your trademark based on the information you provide us.
