Frequently asked questions
How many classes should I file?
File every class that covers your current and near-term offerings; most small brands need one to three.
Can the same brand be owned by different companies in different classes?
Yes, if goods are unrelated and there is no likelihood of confusion, though well-known marks get wider protection.
Is there a class for everything?
Yes, all goods and services fall into one of the 45 classes.
Can I add a class later?
You file a new application for additional classes; the earlier filing date applies only to original classes.
