TRADEMARK Registration in CLASS 7

INTRODUCTION:

The Trademarks Act, 1999, explains a phrase, logo, design, and sequence of colors or shapes, etc. and that symbolizes the uniqueness of a brand or the product and separates from competitors. It is a globally recognized trademark and is the most precious asset of a business. With a different Trademark, users can instantly distinguish your products or services from several competitors’ products.

The Fourth Schedule to the Trademark Rules, 2002 lays down the different trademark classes. Trademark has a total of 45 classes and the manufacture of goods and services are grouped into different trademark classes. Each class requires a different trademark registration. This is a classification of almost 80,000 products and services and divided into two sections- Classes for Goods & Classes of Services. Thus, it gives the trademark registration process a definite structure. Accordingly, the applicant can choose the broad class under which their goods or service description falls. The trademark classification helps avoid this by allowing you to search for a prior trademark in the class that you want to register your trademark in India.
