Type a product or service and we’ll suggest the matching NICE class(es). Classes 1–34 cover goods, 35–45 cover services.
Updated on October 06, 2026 05:35:31 PM
A trademark class search tool tells you which of the 45 Nice classes your goods or services belong in, before you pay a non-refundable government fee on the wrong one. Most businesses need more than one class, and the split is rarely obvious. Litem Legalis runs the check and tells you whether you need one class or several with our TM class finder tool, as per the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Businesses need to identify the correct category of goods and services. The Nice Classification organizes them into 45 classes to help examiners assess applications more easily.
It is necessary to choose a class that perfectly matches your business operations. You might draw an objection if you end up filing in the wrong class or where your business isn’t covered.

Here are a few commonly used trademark classes:-
| Trademark Classes | Description |
|---|---|
| Trademark Class-25 | Clothes, footwear, headgear, etc. |
| Trademark Class-35 | Services like advertising, marketing, business management, and retail services |
| Trademark Class-9 | Computers, downloadable software, electronics, and digital products |
| Trademark Class-42 | Software development, IT services, and technology-related services |
Most people are confused between Class 9 and Class 42.
Since Class 35 is India’s most overfilled class, you need to know if it fits a business or not. It mainly covers advertising, business management, and retail services available for the benefit of others.

Litem Legalis’ Trademark class search tool can help in determining the class of your goods and services in 5 steps:-
Advocates at Litem Legalis can actually help in identifying the class and deciding whether to file under a single class or more.
For most businesses, the class is obvious. These are the three situations where filers most often get it wrong:
The government fee is ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups, and MSMEs, and ₹9,000 per class for companies, LLPs, and partnerships, charged per class and per mark, as per Trade Marks Act, 1999. So a two-class filing costs two fees. A clothing brand that also sells online, for instance, pays for Class 25 and Class 35.
Every trademark is filed against one or more of 45 categories set by the Nice Classification, the international system India follows. Classes 1 to 34 cover goods; 35 to 45 cover services. You register and pay per class.
Class 35 in trademark is a category under the Nice Classification. It covers services related to advertising, business administration, business management, and office functions.
Find your class using the Litem Legalis class search tool. Otherwise, review the class details that are provided by the intellectual property office.
The stepwise approach for trademark class search is as follows:-
It is an international classification system that is helpful for grouping products and services. This helps people to register trademarks in specific categories as per their business.
No. It is not possible to change or expand to any classes once done. A class change is treated as a new application. This way, you need to file a fresh application and pay the fees again.
If you file in the wrong class, it means your goods and services will actually lack protection. Also, your trademark application might face objections or delays. Hence, a proper TM class search is important.
The trademark classes are the same across the world as per the Nice classification. A standard system has 45 classes, with classes 1-34 covering goods and classes 35-45 covering services. This system is acceptable in 150+ countries, including India, the US, Australia, and European Union nations.
Yes, it is completely possible to file under more than one class to register your business. There is a standard fee that is mandatory for each class per filing, so if you are filing for more than one class, you need to pay separately for each.
