Class 20 trademark for furniture
Short answer
Class 20 covers furniture, mattresses, pillows, mirrors, picture frames and many goods of wood, plastic or similar materials not covered elsewhere. You file in class 20 when you sell these goods under your brand; most offices charge an official fee per class.
Typical goods in class 20
- furniture
- mattresses
- mirrors
- picture frames
Official class heading, Nice Classification 12th edition
Furniture, mirrors, picture frames; containers, not of metal, for storage or transport; unworked or semi-worked bone, horn, whalebone or mother-of-pearl; shells; meerschaum; yellow amber.
Often filed in class 20 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 20 marks
Furniture marks clash with home textiles in class 24, housewares in class 21 and furniture retail in class 35.
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 20 and its neighbours, or order a clearance search before a launch.
