Trademark Class Finder: Search All 45 Trademark Classes in India

How to use the Trademark Class Finder

Describe what you sell. Type a product, a service or your type of business, for example “organic tea”, “mobile app” or “beauty salon”. Short, plain words work best.
Check the matches. The best match comes first, with the examples that matched. If something you typed belongs elsewhere, the tool tells you which class it moves to.
Add every class you need. Add each class that covers your goods and services. Most brands need two or three: for example the product class plus Class 35 for a store.
See the government fee. Choose your applicant type to see the fee per class. Then search the name on IP India before you file, or ask Ofin for a free search report.

Plain-English summaries of the official headings in the NCL 13-2026 edition of the Nice Classification. For the full official wording, see WIPO’s Nice Classification.

Trademark registration fee per class

Applicant	Online (e-filing)	Physical filing
Individual, startup or small enterprise	₹4,500 per class	₹5,000 per class
All other applicants	₹9,000 per class	₹10,000 per class

These are the official Form TM-A fees. Ofin’s trademark registration starts at ₹6,999 inclusive of GST for one class, with a free search report and the government fee included.

Trademark classes in India follow the Nice classification: 45 classes, with Classes 1 to 34 for goods and 35 to 45 for services, and a registration protects your mark only for the goods and services in the classes you file. The official fee is charged per class, so the class list decides both your protection and your cost: ₹4,500 a class online for individuals, startups and small enterprises, and ₹9,000 for others. This guide explains how to work out which trademark class fits your business, how the Nice system works in India and how to avoid the class mistakes that cost a filing date.

How to work out which trademark class fits your business

List every product and service you will sell under the brand, then find the class for each item rather than for the business as a whole. A bakery, for example, sells goods in Class 30 and may also offer a retail or cafe service in Class 35 or 43.

Write down each product and each service the brand will cover, now and in the next few years.
Type each one into the finder above and note the class it lands in.
Read the class heading and what it excludes. Many goods sit in a class you would not guess (see the table below).
Add the service classes for how you sell: Class 35 for your own shop or online store, Class 43 for a restaurant or cafe, Class 42 for software you run for customers.
Search the IP India trademark register for identical or similar marks in each class you picked.
Decide between one multi-class application or separate applications, then file Form TM-A.

How does the Nice classification work in India?

Rule 20 of the Trade Marks Rules 2017 requires goods and services to be classified under the current edition of WIPO's International Classification of Goods and Services (the Nice classification). The current version is NCL 13-2026, in force since 1 January 2026, and WIPO has already published NCL 13-2027 in advance.

India joined the Nice Agreement with effect from 7 September 2019. The same rule 20 requires the Registrar to publish a class-wise and alphabetical index that includes goods and services of Indian origin. Indian terms such as ghee, atta or agarbatti do not always appear word for word in WIPO's list, so the finder places them by class heading and explanatory note.

The classification changes from edition to edition. Under NCL 13-2026, spectacles, sunglasses and contact lenses are in Class 10, while the 2025 version listed sunglasses in Class 9. When the classification is amended, a registered owner can apply on Form TM-P to bring the specification of an existing registration into line with it (rule 105).

Worked example: classes and fees for a tea brand with a cafe

A brand that sells packaged tea, runs a cafe and sells through its own website needs three classes: Class 30 for the tea, Class 43 for the cafe and Class 35 for the online store. At the official e-filing fee, that is ₹13,500 for an individual, startup or small enterprise and ₹27,000 for other applicants.

Example. Leafline Teas (a made-up brand) sells loose-leaf and packaged tea, runs one cafe and takes orders on its own website. The finder places tea in Class 30, a cafe in Class 43 and retail or e-commerce in Class 35. Filed online by the founder as an individual, the government fee is 3 × ₹4,500 = ₹13,500. If the brand is owned by a private limited company that is neither a recognised startup nor a small enterprise, it is 3 × ₹9,000 = ₹27,000. A paper filing would cost ₹15,000 or ₹30,000. If Leafline later adds a medicinal herbal tea, the finder flags that it belongs in Class 5, not Class 30, so it needs a fourth class.

The lower rate is not automatic. Under rule 2 of the Trade Marks Rules 2017, a startup means an entity recognised as a startup under the Startup India initiative, and a small enterprise is defined by reference to the investment limits in the MSMED Act. Form TM-A asks startups and small enterprises to provide the supporting certificate. The Startup India Eligibility Checker shows whether you qualify for Startup India recognition.

Goods and services that sit in an unexpected class

The class follows the nature and function of the product, not the industry you are in. That is why the same business can end up in several classes, and why a good guess can still be wrong.

Product or service	Class	Not
Medicinal herbal tea	5	30 (ordinary tea)
Sunglasses	10	9 (as listed in NCL 12-2025)
Yoga mats	27	28 (yoga blocks and straps are 28)
Pesticides, fungicides and herbicides	5	1 (industrial chemicals)
Milk drinks where milk predominates, even if flavoured with coffee or tea	29	30
Clothing for pets	18	25
Graphic design of promotional material	42	35 (advertising)
Custom manufacturing for others, to their specification	40	The class of the goods you make under your own brand

Selling is not a class of its own. Your goods go in their own classes, and Class 35 covers the retail or online-store service only if you want to protect the shop's name as a store.

How broad should the list of goods and services be?

Describe what you actually sell or plan to sell, using the Registrar's terms where you can. Under rule 23(5), the Registrar may refuse an application that claims every item in a class, or a large variety of items, unless the use or intended use of the mark justifies it.

One application covers one mark, in as many classes as you need (rule 23(4)). The fee is charged for each class and each mark.
The names of goods and services should, as far as possible, match the Registrar's published classification (proviso to rule 23(5)).
A wider specification also widens the set of earlier marks the examiner compares yours with, which can lead to an objection. The Trademark Status and Deadline Tool explains each stage after filing.

Can a class be corrected after you file?

Only in narrow cases. Goods you left out need a new application with a later filing date: rule 37 bars any amendment that brings in goods or services not included in the application as filed. Rule 23(6) covers goods already listed: if they fall in further classes, you restrict the list or add those classes on Form TM-M with the fee.

If every item you listed belongs in a different class from the one you chose, the Registrar may allow the class to be corrected, again on Form TM-M. Neither route lets you widen the specification, so the list of goods and services matters more than the class number you start with.

Common mistakes when choosing trademark classes

The most common mistake is filing only the class of the business type and missing the class of the products sold under the same name. Others come from older class lists and from treating manufacturing as a service.

Filing a product brand only in Class 35. Class 35 protects a retail service, not the goods on the shelf.
Filing your own manufactured goods in Class 40. Class 40 is for custom work done for others.
Filing an app only in Class 9 and forgetting the class of the service the app delivers, such as Class 39 for delivery or Class 41 for courses.
Copying a trademark class list made before 1 January 2026 for eyewear or yoga goods.
Skipping the register search in one of the classes you file.

Trademark Class Finder: frequently asked questions

How many trademark classes are there in India?

India uses the Nice Classification, which has 45 classes: Classes 1 to 34 are for goods and Classes 35 to 45 are for services. The current edition is NCL 13-2026, in force since 1 January 2026.

Can I register one trademark in more than one class?

Yes. One Form TM-A application can cover several classes, but the government fee is charged for each class: ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups and small enterprises, and ₹9,000 per class for other applicants, when filed online.

Which trademark class is for a restaurant or cloud kitchen?

Class 43 covers restaurant, cafe and take-away food services. Many restaurants also file in Class 35 for online ordering, and in Class 29 or 30 if they sell packaged food under the same brand.

Which trademark class is for a clothing brand?

Class 25 covers clothing, footwear and headwear. If you run your own online or offline store, Class 35 covers the retail service. Bags and wallets are in Class 18.

Which trademark class is for software or a mobile app?

Downloadable software and mobile apps are in Class 9. Software as a service (SaaS), hosting and software development are in Class 42. Most app and SaaS businesses file in both.

What happens if I choose the wrong trademark class?

Your registration protects only the goods and services you file for. You cannot add new goods or services after filing (rule 37), so anything you left out needs a new application with a later filing date. If goods you already listed belong in another class, rule 23(6) lets you correct or add the class on Form TM-M with the fee. That is why the class choice is worth checking before you file.

Is selling products online a separate class?

Selling your own goods is not a service in itself. The goods are registered in their own classes, and Class 35 covers the retail or online-store service if you want to protect your shop’s name as a store.
