Introduction

This guide is all about Class 18 in Trademark Classification. Trademarks need to be registered under specific classes, each representing a different group of goods or services. In this post, we’ll dive into the items covered under Class 18.

It’s crucial to identify the right trademark class before applying. Registering a trademark in a specific class protects it only within that category. If a trademark is used for goods and services in multiple classes, separate applications must be submitted for each class to ensure protection for those specific goods and services.
