Most products and services have corresponding trademark classifications. There are 45 categories of trademarks, and there are many subcategories under each category. We will teach you how to choose the classification of trademark transfer from the choice of categories.

first of all, you need to note that the commodity classification table is for the convenience of trademark registration procedures, and for the convenience of trademark office examiners to examine trademark registration. It is not for the court to determine whether commodities constitute similar standards. In the judicial practice of the court, similar goods refer to goods that are identical or related in functions, uses, production departments, sales channels, consumers, etc., but the public generally thinks that they have specific connections and are easy to cause confusion.

I made a choice according to the products or services I operated. But sometimes, some industries are not clearly listed in the classification table, and they can't be completely included by one classification, which leads to cross-category situations. Special attention should be paid to such industries. If the categories are improperly selected, the protection of trademarks may be insufficient, so that comprehensive protection cannot be carried out. Here are a few industries to explain:

1. E-commerce industry

Generally speaking, it includes four categories (four trademark registrations). The first is the construction and maintenance of e-commerce platform, which belongs to the 42nd category; Secondly, it is the display and advertising function of e-commerce platform, which can be classified in the 35 th category of advertising; Then there is the communication function of e-commerce platform. If you can provide such services, you need to register in the 38 th category of communication and telecommunications; Finally, there is logistics distribution, which belongs to the 39th category. A category can't reflect the function of e-commerce platform as a whole. Of course, in addition, if you use this platform to sell your own products, you must first choose the corresponding products to register.

2. Household appliance industry

Based on the above classification principles, the household appliance industry needs to look at the specific household appliances when choosing the classification. There is no classification called household appliances in the classification, and the classification can only be selected according to the functions and uses of specific products.

3. Food industry

This is also a relatively large industry. According to different food types, you can basically choose from the 29th to 33rd categories.

Of course, this is only a general category statement. If it is a small category, you need to compare it with your product in detail. We need to be clear about our products, including detailed products, related products that need to be contacted, etc. Many of them may involve many kinds of registration. You can check them in the trademark classification table, and you can contact the trademark agency for inquiry or consultation if you are not clear.
