Every trademark application must designate the specific classes of goods or services in connection with which the mark is used or proposed to be used. In Malaysia and most international trademark offices, filing fees and examination procedures are charged on a per-class basis. Selecting your classes strategically ensures robust commercial monopoly while keeping registration costs fully optimized.
Trademark protection strictly depends on the classes you select. Filing too narrowly leaves dangerous commercial loopholes for competitors to exploit, while choosing too broadly increases official MyIPO filing fees and examination risk. Focus your application on your active commercial revenue streams, and consult our trademark attorneys to ensure complete brand coverage without unnecessary class costs.
