IP Rights Trademark Registration

Brief Classification on Trademark Class 6 to 11

Trademark classes are the reflection of the object, properties, and nature of the proposed business. The class and the description of goods or services help the trademark officer or layman to identify similar registered trademarks. Although, they are hard to understand and need research to identify under which class you fall.

Trademark is a sign, symbol or mark used to differentiate between the goods sold by two or more market competitor or manufacturer. Once you get the trademark registration, you are the owner of the mark and have the right to protect the trademark. The manufacturers of the goods or services are apportioned into different classes and each class requires a different trademark registration. There are around 80000 classifications of goods and services.
