The clothing trademark class is Class 25 for Trademark Registration.

The ministry of trade and commerce, the government body in charge of trademark registration, separates marks into 45 distinct "classes" of products or services. These classifications allow other firms to enlist the trademarks in classes most near appropriate to their immediate trade.

Importance of Trademark Class

Trademark Registration protects the following things:

  • Company Name
  • Company Message
  • Emblems and Logos
  • Other retail acronyms

You obtain exclusive rights to use a trademark on commercial items and services when you register it.

The majority of trademarks do not confer exclusive rights to use the mark on all products or services. Your trademark protection is limited to the sorts of goods and services you specify on your trademark application. A trademark registered by a T-shirt company, for example, may not prevent a car company from adopting a similar logo.

You must choose one or more trademark classes that pertain to your business, goods, or services for submitting a trademark application. 

Only choose classes that apply to your goods and services or those you intend to offer. 

It guarantees that both the government and the general public are aware of how and when your patent was issued.

 

Trademark Registration Process for Clothing Trademark Class

Step 1 - Search for a trademark

Use the ipindia.gov.in database to look for identical, preexisting trademarks in Class 25. You can also look at the Official Journal of the Indian Trademark Registration Office. It is responsible for the publication of new trademarks.

Choose a unique name for your brand keeping in check the Clothing Trademark Class.

 

Step 2 - Submit a Trademark Application

Submit your trademark application through the ipindia.gov.in trademark electronic application system. The following items are included in the application:

  • If you already sell or promote products and services using the mark, check either "use in commerce" or "use in advertising." Check "intend to use" if you plan to do so soon.
  • Check Class 25 and any other coordinated classes to identify the class of goods.
  • Use a pre-existing description of your goods or write a fresh written description that is simple enough for the typical individual to grasp. If you choose the latter option, be specific and give some instances. 
  • Use a wide phrase, but make sure it's qualified and doesn't overlap with other trademark classes. In your description, don't include copyrighted terms or products from other brands, and don't list items that you don't sell.
  • Compare your description to some registered trademarks to confirm that you've done it correctly.
  • Include a sample of how the trademark will be displayed. A photograph of the stamp or stencil is usually included. Include a garment, footwear, or headgear label or tag in Trademark Class 25.
  • Applicant's Personal Information: Make a list of your name and address. Instead, if you're filing as a corporation, use your company's name.

 

Step 3 - Pay the Application Fees

The application for trademark registration is Rs.9000 per class per application for business and Rs.4500 for individual application.

After submitting the form and attaching the documents pay the required fees to start the application processing.

 

Standard Mistakes while Trademark Registration

  • Choosing a Good Class Instead of a Service Class: Choose between the good and service grades with caution. T-shirts, for example, are a type of clothing. A T-shirt printing company, on the other hand, is a service.
  • Making a Mistake in Trademark Classification: In its final form, the class must represent your product or service. The trademark class should not be based on the product's contents or how it will be marketed. To cover both shoes and the shoebox, you don't need to pick Class 16 (Paper Goods) and Class 25 (Clothing, Footwear, Headgear).
  • Choosing Too Many Trademark Classes: When you apply for a trademark, the examiner will look for other marks that are similar to yours. Your trademark description and classifications may infringe on an existing mark if they are too broad. The trademark examiner will deny your application in this situation.
  • Choosing Too Few Trademark Classes: If your trademark does not adequately cover how you intend to use it, you may face major legal problems. You may infringe on another trademark if another party registers a similar trademark in a different class.

 

Conclusion

Customers are unlikely to be confused about the source of origin between these significantly distinct goods. Therefore, a mark registered in one category (for example, medicine) does not infringe on a mark registered in a completely other class (for example, apparel). 

For instance, a pharmaceutical company called "EcoHealth" would never be mistaken for a company that also makes socks. 

As a result, because the marks are registered in distinct classes, they might exist with the same trademark independently along with another.

I hope now you know everything you need to about Clothing Trademark Class.
