NICE Classification Guide

Understanding Trademark Classes in India

Every trademark application filed in India with the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) must be classified under the internationally recognized 45 NICE Classification classes. Picking the wrong class is the #1 reason trademark applications face objections or leave brands legally unprotected.

Goods Classes (1–34)

Cover physical products — ranging from chemicals and machinery to fashion clothing, cosmetics, foods, packaged goods, and electronics.

Service Classes (35–45)

Cover intangible services — including online retail stores, financial management, construction, SaaS platforms, education, clinics, and legal services.

Multiclass Filings

Allows filing under multiple classes in a single application. Essential for modern brands that manufacture products and run e-commerce apps or services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a trademark? + A trademark is simply a name, logo, symbol, word, or design that identifies your brand and tells your products or services apart from everyone else's. Once you register it, you legally own that mark for your category of business, so others can't use the same or a confusingly similar name, logo, or slogan.
What is a trademark class?+ A trademark class is a category under the NICE Classification system that groups similar goods or services together. When you register a trademark, you must specify the class (or classes) that describe what you sell — there are 45 classes in total: 1 to 34 for goods and 35 to 45 for services.
How many trademark classes are there?+ There are 45 trademark classes under the international NICE Classification, which India also follows. Classes 1 through 34 cover physical goods and classes 35 through 45 cover services.
Can one trademark application cover multiple classes?+ Yes. India allows multiclass trademark applications, meaning a single application can cover more than one class if your brand offers multiple types of goods or services.
What happens if I choose the wrong trademark class?+ Your protection will not cover your actual goods or services, leaving your brand vulnerable in your real category. Correcting the class after filing can mean extra fees, delays, or a fresh application — so it's worth confirming before you file.
Do online sellers and e-commerce brands need Class 35?+ Class 35 covers advertising, business management, and retail/online store services. If you run an e-commerce store or marketplace, Class 35 is typically relevant in addition to the class covering your actual products.
Do software companies need Class 9, Class 42, or both?+ Class 9 covers downloadable software/apps as a product; Class 42 covers SaaS, cloud computing, and software development services. Many tech companies file under both.
Do online sellers and e-commerce brands need Class 35?+ Costs include a government filing fee per class (which differs for individuals/startups/MSMEs vs. other entities) plus a professional service fee. Because government fees are revised periodically, check the current fee breakdown on Kanakkupillai's trademark registration page.
