Frequently asked questions
What is Class 27 in trademark registration?
Class 27 is the Nice Classification class for carpets, rugs, mats and matting; linoleum and other materials for covering existing floors; wall hangings, not of textile. In India a trademark is registered class by class, so a Class 27 registration protects the mark for those goods only.
What is the difference between Class 27 and Class 24?
Class 27 covers carpets and floor coverings; Class 24 covers textiles and fabrics. Class 24 is the one for textile wall hangings.
Should I file in Class 27 and Class 19 together?
Often, yes. Class 19 is the one for tiles, wood flooring and building materials. 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.
