Class 19 trademark for building materials
Short answer
Class 19 covers building materials that are not of metal: wood, concrete, tiles, glass for building, asphalt and transportable non-metal buildings. You file in class 19 when you sell these goods under your brand; most offices charge an official fee per class.
Typical goods in class 19
- building materials
- tiles
- concrete
- wood flooring
Official class heading, Nice Classification 12th edition
Materials, not of metal, for building and construction; rigid pipes, not of metal, for building; asphalt, pitch, tar and bitumen; transportable buildings, not of metal; monuments, not of metal.
Often filed in class 19 by mistake
Filing in the wrong class leaves your real products unprotected and still costs the class fee. These belong elsewhere.
Typical conflicts for class 19 marks
Building material marks meet construction services in class 37 and metal building products in class 6.
An office compares your mark with earlier marks for identical and related goods or services, not only within the same class. Run a trademark availability search to see the closest marks in class 19 and its neighbours, or order a clearance search before a launch.
