Frequently asked questions
What is Class 22 in trademark registration?
Class 22 is the Nice Classification class for ropes and string; nets; tents and tarpaulins; awnings; sails; sacks for transport and storage; padding and stuffing materials, except paper, cardboard, rubber or plastics; raw fibrous textile materials. In India a trademark is registered class by class, so a Class 22 registration protects the mark for those goods only.
What is the difference between Class 22 and Class 23?
Class 22 covers ropes, nets and tents; Class 23 covers yarns and threads. Class 23 is the one for yarns and threads.
Should I file in Class 22 and Class 24 together?
Often, yes. Class 24 is the one for finished textiles and bed nets. A mark registered in one class does not stop a competitor using it in another, and we advise on the class set before filing so you pay only for the classes you need.

Yes. Ropes, twine and string are among the typical goods filed in Class 22, along with fishing nets and agricultural nets and tents and camping shelters.
Which businesses usually register in Class 22?
