Design Classes: A Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Class for Your Design Registration
Introduction To Design Classes
Design protection in India is becoming increasingly important as businesses focus on innovation, aesthetics, and brand identity. Whether you manufacture products, create packaging, or design everyday consumer articles, registering your design ensures exclusive rights and protects your creation from illegal copying.
Under the Designs Act, 2000, India follows an international classification system known as the Locarno Classification, which divides designs into different categories called Design Classes. Understanding these classes is crucial before filing a design application, because selecting the wrong class may lead to objections, delays, or even rejection.
This article explains everything you need to know about Design Classes, their structure, and how to choose the correct class for your design.
What Are Design Classes?
Design Classes are broad categories used to classify industrial designs based on the nature, purpose, or use of the product. These classes ensure uniformity across jurisdictions and help examiners categorize similar products.
The Locarno Classification contains:
- 32 main classes (01–32)
- 219 subclasses, each covering a specific type of article
Every design application in India must specify a class and subclass that correctly represents the product.
Why Are Design Classes Important?
Choosing the correct design class is not merely a formality—it directly affects the protection of your rights.
- Accurate Identification of the Product
A correct class helps examiners easily identify the product, reducing the chances of scrutiny and objections.
- Avoids Overlaps and Rejections
Incorrect classification often results in:
- Examination reports
- Refiling requirements
- Fees and timeline delays
- Protects Your Design in the Right Category
If your product fits into multiple categories, choosing the best class ensures comprehensive and enforceable protection.

How to Choose the Correct Design Class
Here are some guiding principles:
- Identify the Primary Function of the Product
Ask: What is the main use of the article?
- Focus on the Finished Article
Classes are based on final products, not raw materials.
- Examine Similar Products
Find where competitor designs are registered.
- Use the Locarno Classification Index
This is the most accurate way to match your product with a designated class and subclass.
- Seek Expert Assistance
Incorrect classification is a common reason for design objections. Consulting an IPR professional helps avoid errors and speeds up approval.

Why Design Registration Matters
A registered design grants:
✔ Exclusive rights for 10 years (extendable by 5 more years)
✔ Legal protection against copying
✔ Competitive advantage and brand differentiation
✔ Higher valuation and licensing opportunities
For businesses dealing in consumer products, packaging, home décor, appliances, toys, machinery, or fashion, design registration is not just beneficial—it is essential.
Conclusion
Design Classes play a crucial role in the design registration process in India. Correct classification ensures smooth examination, strong legal protection, and exclusive rights over the appearance of your product.
If you need help identifying the right class or filing your design application, My Trademark Guide offers expert assistance to simplify the entire process.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Locarno Classification is an international system that categorises industrial designs into 32 classes and multiple subclasses. India uses this classification while examining and registering designs under the Designs Act, 2000.
Selecting the correct design class ensures your application is examined under the right category, reduces the chances of objections, and provides accurate protection for the specific product you are registering.
Yes. If a product has multiple distinct features or serves different functions, it may fall under more than one class. In such cases, applicants can file additional representations or separate applications in the relevant classes.
Choosing an incorrect class may result in examination objections, delays, refiling requirements, or even rejection. Correct classification is essential for strong and enforceable design protection.
Yes. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) periodically updates the Locarno Classification to include new products and technological developments. India also follows these updates for design registration.
Yes. Packaging items like bottles, jars, lids, pouches, and containers are classified under Class 09 of the Locarno system, which deals specifically with containers and packaging.
Yes. Non-physical visual elements such as icons, logos, and graphic symbols fall under Class 32, which includes graphic representations, ornamentation, and logos.
No. The Locarno system is applicable only to industrial design registration. Trademarks use the Nice Classification, and patents are categorized according to the IPC (International Patent Classification).
The design class cannot be changed after filing. If the class is incorrect, the applicant must file a fresh application with the correct class. Hence, it is crucial to choose the right class before submission.
While the Locarno Classification can be accessed publicly, correctly interpreting it often requires technical expertise. Seeking assistance from an IPR professional helps ensure your application is filed accurately and avoids unnecessary objections.
