Trademark Class 9: Electronics, Software and Scientific Apparatus
Scientific, research, and electrical/electronic apparatus; computer software and downloadable applications; measuring, signalling and safety equipment; and data processing equipment. One of the most heavily-filed classes for modern tech and D2C brands — but downloadable software is here, while browser-based/SaaS software belongs in Class 42 instead.
What actually falls under Class 9.
The official heading is a legal category, not a shopping list here are specific products and services from Class 9 people actually search for.
Batteries
Biometric / attendance devices
CCTV cameras / security equipment
Calculators
Computer software (downloadable)
Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles)
EV charger / electric vehicle charging equipment (hardware)
The physical charging unit/wallbox is Class 9 (electrical apparatus). The actual service of charging a vehicle — at home or a public station — is classified differently, under Class 37, alongside vehicle service stations.
Electrical wires and cables
Fire safety / alarm equipment
GPS navigation devices
Home battery / energy storage systems (hardware)
Inverters (electrical apparatus)
Laptops / computers
Mobile app (downloadable)
A downloadable app that users install on their phone is Class 9. If the same product is really a cloud/SaaS service accessed through a browser without downloading, that's Class 42 — many software businesses file both.
Mobile phones and accessories
Power banks / mobile chargers
Protective helmets
SIM cards
Smart watches / wearables
Solar panels / photovoltaic cells
Speakers / headphones
Spectacles / sunglasses
USB drives / data storage
Video games (downloadable/software)
Voltage stabilisers
Weighing / measuring instruments
