Product → Class Reference
Which trademark class is my product in? A–Z list.
Every product or service you sell falls into one of 45 trademark classes: Classes 1–34 are goods and Classes 35–45 are services. Find your item below in alphabetical order, check the note if it is a commonly confused item, and open the class page for the full heading and examples. A brand that sells in more than one class needs a separate application (or a multi-class application) for each class.
This is a curated list of 907 commonly searched products and services, not the full official WIPO alphabetical list. If your item is not here, try the Class Finder or ask us before filing — picking the wrong class can mean filing again.

Before you file
- Pick the class for what you actually sell under the brand, not your industry in general. A restaurant serving food is a service (Class 43); packaged food it sells in shops is goods (Classes 29 or 30).
- If the same brand covers goods and services, it usually needs more than one class. See goods classes vs service classes.
- Search the register for similar marks in your class before filing: how to do a trademark public search.
