What are Nice classes and why do they matter?

The Nice Classification divides goods and services into 45 classes: classes 1–34 for goods and 35–45 for services. A mark is protected only for the goods and services of the classes you choose, so the choice matters.

In the form, once you describe your activity, our artificial-intelligence agent proposes essential, recommended and protective classes, with the official terms in line with the WIPO 09/2026 standard; you can also choose them yourself. The first class is included in the office's base fee; each additional class is charged separately.
