Question 1

Can I Add a Class After Filing a Trademark Application?

Accepted Answer

You cannot add new classes after submitting an application to TÜRKPATENT. Once an application is complete, you cannot include a new class. Classes must be selected carefully before applying. If you notice a missing class, you need a separate application for protection, though you can claim priority. Determining the complete classes before applying prevents process delays and extra fees.

How Are Trademark Classes Determined?

Accepted Answer

Trademark classes are set under the Nice Agreement and defined by the type of goods or services. Trademark registration classes cover 45 categories: The first 34 classes (1 to 34) cover manufactured or traded goods. Classes 35 to 45 represent the services offered. When setting the trademark class, the steps are: Identifying the activities: The services and products the business offers now and in the future are identified. Reviewing the classes: The identified activities are matched to their counterparts in the Nice Classification. Professional consulting: Expert support where needed. The right class selection keeps the mark legally protected and secures it against potential infringement.

How Many Trademark Classes Should You Register?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your goods or services, your registration application can cover one or multiple classes. There are 45 trademark classes in total. For example, a restaurant registers in class 43 for food services. If that restaurant also sells cookbooks and offers cooking classes, it may also need registration in class 16 for paper goods and class 41 for education services.

Question 7

Trademark Class Selection Shapes the Opposition Process

Accepted Answer

Trademark class selection directly affects opposition procedures. The classes you choose also play a role in relative refusal grounds: an application is examined only for its own classes. For example, if your trademark is registered in class 25, a competitor's attempt to register the same name in class 36 is generally accepted. Similarities across different classes do not constitute a relative refusal. Applying for all areas where your mark will be used reduces the risk of unfair use. For instance, applying only in class 43 for a restaurant leaves food products uncovered. Someone else could register the same name for food products in classes 29 or 30. Class selection is a strategic decision. In software, commerce, or services, the use of similar names is first evaluated through these class distinctions.

Question 8

What Are Trademark Registration Search Classes Used For?

Accepted Answer

Before answering the question of what Nice Classes in a trademark search are used for, we must define a Nice Class. The Nice Classification is a 45-class system that organizes goods and services according to international standards. In Turkey, the products or services in a trademark application are defined based on the Nice Classes. As of December 20, 2024, the current Nice list is applied in line with the "Communiqué on the Classification of Goods and Services for Trademark Registration Applications" published in the Official Gazette. The selected classes determine the areas in which the trademark will be protected. A correct selection ensures protection in all areas where the trademark operates, while an incorrect or incomplete class selection can lead to registration refusal or gaps in protection. Before the application process, a detailed trademark search must be conducted via TÜRKPATENT's e-Portal. On the e-Portal, relevant trademarks can be examined using search types (e.g., "containing", "starting with", "equal to") and class filters. This process helps minimize the risk of opposition by identifying similar marks. The following sections will cover the importance of Nice classes, the consequences of class selection, e-Portal search types and example queries, common mistakes and their solutions, restrictions on adding classes, and a pre-application checklist. Correct Class Selection Protects Your Trademark Correct selection of Nice classes in a trademark search is critical for thorough protection of your mark. If you operate in multiple sectors, an application should be filed in all relevant classes. Incorrect or incomplete class selection can lead to the refusal of the registration application and protection of the mark only within a narrow scope. For example, if a restaurant business applies only in class 43 (food and beverage services), there will be no protection covering the food products it produces. An application must also be filed in classes 29 and/or 30. Class selection also affects the application cost, as a separate fee is paid for each additional class. The selected classes determine the scope of infringement claims during opposition proceedings. Therefore, the business activity should be analyzed well, and classes should be identified with the help of classification tools and the support of Sistem Patent's trademark agents if necessary. Search Examples: Exact Search: Entering 'equal to: DENEME' in the trademark name field lists only exact "DENEME" trademarks. Beginning Search: 'starting with: ARA' searches for trademark names starting with "ARA" (e.g., "ARABA", "ARALIK"). Content Search: 'containing: TEKNO' finds trademarks with "TEKNO" in their name ("TEKNOFEST", "GENTEKNO"). Phonetic/Visual: In some special software (if available), selecting phonetic search and typing GUNES may also find the "GÜNES" trademark. In visual search, similar logo images can be uploaded. Class Filtering: To search only in specific classes, select "specified classes" and, for example, enter 35, 41 to conduct a search relevant to that sector. The trademark research process is thorough, and we recommend getting professional support on this matter. You can request our expert agents for a trademark search from our trademark search page. After conducting a free preliminary search, our agents will inform you whether your trademark is suitable for registration. You can also appoint us as your agent firm for your relevant trademark application from our trademark application page.

Question 52

Which Trademark Class Should I Choose for E-Commerce?

Accepted Answer

The Nice Classification is used for trademark registration in e-commerce. For trademark registration, a single class is sometimes not enough. Alongside the goods/product class registration, an e-commerce registration class for services like online retail needs to be added. Goods sold in e-commerce typically fall in classes 1 to 34. Online retail and services typically fall in classes 35 to 45. As an example, the products sold can belong to classes like clothing or food, falling in classes 25 or 30. But the online retail service for these products is in class 35. For online retail, class 35 also needs to be included. The sections below detail these classes and offer recommendations by example e-commerce business model. Relevant Nice Classes for E-Commerce Class 9: Computer software and mobile applications. Programs developed for e-commerce sites and applications fall in this class. For example, a shopping app or virtual store software is registered in class 9. Class 35: Retail and marketing services. Retail sales through e-commerce sites (electronic product sales) and online store services are defined in class 35. Single-seller e-stores or multi-seller marketplaces (online marketplaces) also offer retail services. Class 36: Financial services. Online payment infrastructure, virtual POS, and payment guarantee services fall in class 36. Electronic money transfer or payment intermediary services that enable e-commerce transactions are protected in this class. Class 39: Shipping and logistics services. Storage, packaging, delivery, and distribution of products falls within e-commerce logistics in class 39. This class matters especially for fulfillment and transport services. Class 42: Information technology services. Services like cloud-based e-commerce platforms, software development, and web design are registered in class 42. SaaS e-commerce solutions and platform providers typically file in this class. The right class combinations give the trademark thorough protection and reduce opposition and infringement risk later. Class selection is strategic. For example, a mark registered for retail services in class 35 cannot directly stop a competitor's similar mark in class 9 (electronic device). So in e-commerce, classes covering both the product itself and the retail service should be preferred. At the same time, the broader a mark's classes, the higher the chance of overlap with similar marks. Without a careful preliminary search, the opposition risk rises.
