What is Trademark?
Trademark is a protection provided to a name, device, symbol or words in relation to goods or services. Trademark commonly associated with both goods & services but any specific mark associated with a service is known as service mark. The main aim of an individual or entity to register a trademark is to protect their business logo, name, device from the third parties.
Why Trademark Classes?
Trademark classes define which goods or/and services are covered under particular class. Each trademark class includes certain goods or/and services. With the help of trademark class, any business owner can easily identify that their business goods or/and services belongs to which category of trademark classes. For ex –Suppose a company is selling mobile phones under the brand name “Cello”, then the company can file the application for trademark registration for “Cello” under Class 9 which belongs to registration of electronic goods.
In case, if any other company uses the same trademark “Cello” for some other product such as “pressure cooker”, the other company is allowed to use this mark as “Pressure cooker” belongs to Trademark class 21.
There are also some exceptions to it. If you take an example of pizza hut (a well-known mark), it comes under trademark class 43. In such case, if any other company wants to use the “Pizza hut” mark, then company needs to take prior permission of Pizza hut marks owner in order to use this mark.
Trademark classes are divided into two parts –
There are 45 classes of trademark under which first 34 classes belong to goods and remaining 11 classes belongs to services. Trademark classes are formed for applicant’s to easily choose the appropriate class for their goods or services.
There are many cases in which a trademark falls under more than one type of goods, then the application is filed under more than one class for registration which is known as multi-class trademark application. In multiclass trademark application, an applicant can register his or her trademark under more than one trademark class. It is easy to deal with single application rather than multiple applications. In case you think of applying multi class trademark application, make sure that your trademark is unique & distinct unless it can be rejected.
