Trademark Class 37 : Building Constructions and Repair Services

Building construction, repair, and installation services can maintain their uniqueness by registering their mark in Trademark Class 37. The registration of a trademark gives the owner of the trademark several exclusive rights. To distinguish a brand from others, trademark classes play an important role during TM Registration.

The purpose of this article is to provide you with a complete understanding of trademark class 37, its meaning, a comprehensive list of services offered by trademark class 37, and some common mistakes made by applicants during the registration process.

Here are some examples of popular trademarks given below that have also secured their uniqueness through registration under trademark class 37:

1. Home Depot: Construction and repair services
2. Mr Handyman: Home repair and maintaining
3. Lowe’s: Construction, repair and maintenance
4. Orkin: Offers services for residential and commercial properties
5. Stanley Black & Decker: Providing tools and services related to construction

The applicant makes a number of mistakes during the TM registration process, increasing the chance of rejection or objection. The following are some common mistakes.

1. Lack of distinctiveness increases the risk that a mark will be rejected. The main consequences of this mistake are customer misunderstanding and the ruin of the other party's goodwill.
2. If a TM search is not carried out prior to TM registration, there is a higher likelihood that an objection will be brought up during the trademark examination procedure.
3. The danger of trademark infringement increases when goods and services are improperly categorised throughout the Trademark Registration procedure. As a result, the applicant must pick the class carefully while considering the nature of the services or goods.

The main services of Trademark Class 37 are those that involve building and repairing things, including building factories, installing freezing equipment, installing fire alarms, caring for fur, cleaning and many other things. The applicant must confirm that their company meets the requirements. They will have a greater risk of being refused if they choose the incorrect class while submitting their application. As a result, the applicant must consult with a professional TM attorney who can guide them effectively and help them save time and money.
