Starting a bakery business involves more than just baking delicious treats, it also means building and protecting your brand. One of the most important steps in this process is securing your brand name or logo through trademark registration. A trademark not only helps to establish your business identity but also prevents others from copying or misusing it. Before registering, it is essential to understand how trademarks are classified based on the nature of goods or services. This classification system plays a key role in ensuring that your bakery brand gets the legal protection it deserves. In this article, you will know about trademark class, trademark class for bakery business, and the list of goods.

What Is a Trademark Class?

Trademark classes are categories used to classify goods and services for trademark registration. Each class represents a specific type of product or service, which makes it easier to organize and protect trademarks based on what a business offers. For example, food items, clothing, electronics, and legal services all fall under different classes.

These classes are part of the NICE Classification System. This is an international system established under the Nice Agreement. It consists of 45 classes, Classes 1 to 34 for goods and Classes 35 to 45 for services. This system helps trademark authorities and business owners identify the correct category when applying for a trademark.

Choosing the right class is crucial because trademark protection is only granted within the specific class you register under. If your product or service is filed under the wrong class, your trademark may not be legally enforceable in your actual business area. It leaves your brand vulnerable to misuse or infringement.
