Trademark classification list of all 45 Nice classes
Short answer
The trademark classification list is the Nice Classification: 45 classes, where classes 1 to 34 cover goods and 35 to 45 cover services. You pick the classes that match what you sell, and most offices charge a fee per class. Use the availability search to get class suggestions for your product.
Why classes decide the cost
The USPTO charges 350 USD per class, the UK IPO 50 GBP for each class after the first, and the EUIPO 150 EUR from the third class, as of 2026. See the registration cost guide.
Why classes decide conflicts
Two identical names can coexist in unrelated classes. They clash when the goods or services are related, such as clothing and bags, or software and SaaS.
Where the list comes from
The Nice Classification is maintained by WIPO. The 12th edition, version 2026, applies from 1 January 2026 at most offices.

Frequently asked questions
- How many trademark classes are there?
- There are 45 classes in the Nice Classification, maintained by WIPO and used by the USPTO, EUIPO, UK IPO and most other offices. Classes 1 to 34 cover goods and classes 35 to 45 cover services.
- How many classes should I file in?
- Only the classes for the goods and services you sell or will sell soon. Most offices charge per class, and a broad list you do not use can be challenged for non-use after five years.
- Does a trademark in one class protect me in other classes?
- Mostly no. Protection follows the goods and services listed. Offices still refuse a later mark in a different but related class when consumers could be confused, which is why related classes matter in a search.
- Which edition of the Nice Classification applies in 2026?
- The 12th edition, version 2026, in force since 1 January 2026. Offices update their accepted wording lists with each yearly version.
