US Trademark Classification (USPTO Trademark ID Manual)
US trademarks are classified under the goods and services classification maintained by the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office). It follows the international Nice Classification standard and adds detail reflecting US examination practice.
Choosing the correct class of goods or services is a key step in a trademark application. Each class covers a specific range of goods or services, and applicants should identify the class according to the items they use or intend to use and complete the application accordingly.
