Questions
How many trademark classes are there?
There are 45 classes in the Nice Classification: Classes 1 to 34 cover goods and Classes 35 to 45 cover services. Most countries, including the UAE, use them.
What is a trademark class?
A category of goods or services. Your registration protects your mark only for the goods and services in the classes you file, so choosing them carefully matters.
Can one trademark cover several classes?
Yes. Many offices accept multi-class applications, but official fees are usually charged per class.
Which edition of the Nice Classification applies?
The 13th edition came into force in 2026. Offices apply it to new applications from their own start date — in the UAE, applications filed from 27 January 2026.
Is retail a separate class?
Yes. Selling goods in shops or online is a service in Class 35, separate from the classes of the goods themselves.
