Trademark Classification

Understand the Nice Classification system and identify which classes your goods and services may fall under before trademark filing.
Classification Guide

A clearer way to browse trademark classes.

The page keeps the old content structure, but gives users a stronger sense of hierarchy, a Blitzy-style navigation layer, and a cleaner reading system for long class descriptions.

Before You File

Trademark protection depends on the classes selected. Choosing too narrowly can leave gaps; choosing too broadly can increase filing cost and examination risk.
