When applying to register a trade mark, you will need to select a trade mark class<\/a>. The process of selecting your trade mark classes is important because your trade mark will only have protection under the classes you select. One such trade mark class is class 39, which primarily covers shipping and travel services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you better understand class 39 and trade mark classes more broadly, this article will take you through what classes are, why they should be important to you and some examples of what class 39 includes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trade Mark Classes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When applying to register a trade mark for your brand assets, you will be required to select any relevant classes<\/a> on your application. This refers to the goods and services categories that you intend to use your trade mark for. Essentially, trade marks are broken down into 45 classes, including 34 goods and 11 services per the Nice classification system<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classes that you select are important because they define the scope of your trade mark protection. For example, you could consider registering a trade mark for your business\u2019 logo under class 39 if you provide shipping and travel services. In that case, those operating in the same industry as you will not be able to infringe on your trade mark. However, those trading in a completely different industry to you, such as in the cosmetics industry, will not be subject to the same restrictions and, in theory, could have a similar logo to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
