Search by product
Start with what customers buy from you—clothing, software, electronics, consulting, food, or another product or service.
Classification guide
Find the right class for your business.
China uses 45 trademark classes: Classes 1–34 cover goods and Classes 35–45 cover services. The class determines the scope of protection named in the application.
Use this as a starting point
Class summaries cannot replace a review of your specific goods or services. We select precise items based on how the brand is used today and where it is reasonably likely to expand.
Think by scope
Your logo in Class 25 for clothing does not automatically protect a retail service in Class 35.
Plan, then narrow
Protect commercially important classes first, then expand as the business grows. More classes mean more fees.
No matching class found. Try “clothing”, “software”, “retail” or a class number.
Not sure whether you need Class 35?
A company that sells physical products online may need Class 35 for retail or marketplace services, in addition to the class covering the products themselves. This is one of the most common scope issues we review.
Common commercial examples
Start with the way your customer sees your business.
Fashion brand
Class 25 covers clothing and footwear. An online retail service may also require Class 35, while bags often belong in Class 18.
Software product
Class 9 covers recorded or downloadable software. Related SaaS, design, or technology services may require Class 42.
Electronics seller
Class 9 covers electronics. Distribution or marketplace services may also require Class 35.
Restaurant or hotel
Class 43 covers restaurant, catering and accommodation services. Packaged food products would normally need their own goods class.
