Nice Classification

Nice classes: the 45 classes of goods and services

The Nice Classification, maintained by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), divides goods into 34 classes (1–34) and services into 11 classes (35–45). A trademark is protected only for the classes of goods or services it is registered for, so choosing the classes is the first step of every application.

DPPI in Albania and KIPA in Kosovo use the same classification. For each class you will find the official heading, the explanatory note, examples from the alphabetical list and the marks filed in both registers. The text follows edition NCL 13-2026.
