Frequently Asked Questions about Trademarks
What are the trademark classes?When registering a trademark you need to specify the products and services that will be associated with your trademark. The large majority of countries of the world have adopted the International Classification of Niza. This system groups all products and services into 45 classes -- 34 for products, 11 for services -- permitting you to specify precise and clear classes covering your trademark.
The protection that is offered to a registered trademark covers only the classes specified at the time of registration, therefore, allowing two identical trademarks to coexist in distinct classes.
