Class 19 is the Nice Classification class for materials, not of metal, for building and construction; rigid pipes, not of metal, for building; asphalt, pitch and bitumen; transportable buildings, not of metal; monuments, not of metal. In India a trademark is registered class by class, so a Class 19 registration protects the mark for those goods only.

Should I file in Class 19 and Class 6 together?
