Trademark Class 1: Chemical Products

According to NICE Classification, Trademark Class 1 is opted to register a trademark for Chemicals used in Industry and Agriculture.

The NICE Classification was established in 1957 by NICE Agreement, and it divides marks into 45 different classes by Goods and Services (Classes 1-34 for Goods and Classes 35-45 for Services). The purpose of these classifications is to allow users to seek trademark goods or services into classes most appropriate to their business.

TM Class 1 includes chemical products used in industry, science and agriculture, including those that go to the making of products belonging to other classes.

Why Should We Opt For TM Class 1?

You would choose Trademark Class 1 if you were registering any of these types of goods:

• Chemicals used in industry, science and photography, as well as in agriculture, horticulture and forestry
• Unprocessed artificial resins, unprocessed plastics; manures
• Fire extinguishing compositions
• Tempering and soldering preparations
• Chemical substances for preserving foodstuffs
• Tanning substances; adhesives used in industry

You would not use Trademark Class 1 if you were registering for:

• Natural resins (Class 2)
• Chemical products for use in medical science (Class 5)
• Fungicides, herbicides and preparations for destroying vermin (Class 5)
• Adhesives for stationery or household purposes (Class 16)
• salt for preserving foodstuffs (Class 30)
• Straw mulch (Class 31)

Related Classes

A related trademark class is one that is related to another class; this is due to the Indian Trademark Office (ITO) has determined that applicants registering within Class 1 may register in these other classes too.

If you are not sure while choosing Class 1 for your product, you also consider the following “Related Classes”: Class 4- Oils and Lubricants, Class 5- Pharmaceuticals, Class 17- Rubber Products, Class 35- Advertising and Business Services, Class 42- Science and Technical Services, and Class 44- Medical and Beauty Services. 

Trademark Registration fees also vary on bases of the Class system. You must pay a separate registration fee for each class of goods and services that you want to register. For instance, if you are going to register a trademark for Hardware in Class 6 and Software for Class 9, you should pay two separate fees.

It is necessary to choose the correct class at the time of registering a trademark, if you register a trademark in the wrong class, you must start the registration process from the beginning.
