Your intellectual property (IP) is your business\u2019 most important asset. It is the very core of your brand, making it essential to take the necessary steps to protect it.\u00a0Obtaining a trade mark is one way to protect your IP. The trade mark application process consists of several steps, including nominating the most relevant trade mark class or classes. Trade mark classes<\/a> are a way to categorise your goods or services. Choosing a trade mark class is an essential part of the application process. Depending on the nature of your business, you may wish to classify your trade mark under more than one class. To help you navigate trade mark classes, this article will take you through what trade mark classes are, why they are important and give you an explanation of trade mark class 30 and its use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Trade Mark Classes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you apply to register a trade mark, you must select a class that you will use your trade mark in. These classes refer to categories of different goods and services. Australia uses the internationally recognised Nice registration system, which divides 45 classes into 34 goods and 11 services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When making your trade mark application, the trade mark class you select<\/a> is important. This is because your trade mark is only protected under the goods and services classes you have chosen. For example, suppose your trade mark is registered under class 25 (which covers clothing, footwear and headgear). In that case, you will not be able to enforce your trade mark over infringement in class 34 (which covers tobacco and other smoking items).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
