One of the important stages in the process of protecting a brand is the precise choice of classes in which to patent a trademark. According to the Nice Classification (NCL), which is used in Uzbekistan and internationally, all services and products are divided into 45 classes, each of which represents a specific industry or type of goods. Choosing the right classes is good, but choosing the wrong ones can leave you unprotected. For example, if you are a food manufacturer, you will need classes 29-30. If you work in the clothing market, then class 25. For companies that create software, you will need to obtain a patent in classes 9 and 42.
Therefore, at Amaan Patent Agency, each project begins with the selection of specific classes based on a comprehensive expert examination. This provides brand owners with real legal protection for 10 years.
What are patent classes and why are they important?
Patent classes (trademark classes) are an international classification system created to prevent a trademark from being used repeatedly in the same field. Each entrepreneur or company chooses classes depending on its direction and protects the brand in that direction. If a brand is patented in only one class, it cannot prevent the use of the same name in other fields. For example: Let's say someone patented the name "So-and-so" for class 25 (clothing). This patent certificate does not give them rights in class 30 (sweets). At Amaan Patent Agency, before choosing classes, we conduct a thorough expert examination of the brand similarity through the databases of the Ministry of Justice, WIPO, Yandex, Google.
