Selecting the appropriate trademark class requires accurately identifying the goods or services associated with the mark. This process involves reviewing the USPTO’s Identification of Goods and Services Manual (ID Manual) and choosing the relevant categories from the 45 international classes. Classes 1–34 apply to goods, while Classes 35–45 apply to services. The selected class should reflect both current offerings and anticipated expansion over the next one to three years to ensure adequate protection and reduce the risk of application refusal.
