What are the 45 trademark classes?
Trademark classes are a system of 45 different categories used to categorize goods and services. The 45 classes are divided into two main groups, goods and services, with 33 goods classes and 12 services classes. Each class is further divided into subclasses to cover all existing goods and services in the marketplace.
