Class 40 — Common Questions

Why do I need to register my trademark specifically in Class 40? +

Trademark registration in India is class-specific. Registering in Class 40 gives you exclusive rights to use your mark for material treatment in India. Without class-specific registration, others can legally use your mark in the same category.

Can I register in multiple trademark classes? +

Yes! If your business spans multiple categories, you should register in all relevant classes. For example, a clothing brand that also sells accessories should register in both Class 40 and related classes. Each class requires a separate application and fee.

How long does trademark registration in Class 40 take? +

Trademark registration typically takes 18-24 months in India. However, you get the ™ symbol rights from the date of filing itself, which provides immediate protection.

What is the difference between goods classes and services classes? +

Classes 1-34 cover physical goods/products. Classes 35-45 cover services. Class 40 is a services class. Choosing the right class ensures your trademark protection covers your actual business activities.
