Work out how many classes you need Check if the name is taken
This page describes how the USPTO groups goods and services in general. It is not legal advice about your application, and the lists above are written for the common case rather than being exhaustive. Which classes you actually need depends on what you sell, and a licensed attorney confirms them before anything is filed.
Classes either side of this one
Class 25 — Clothing, footwear and headwear
The three-word heading that covers almost every apparel brand on the register, and one of the most crowded classes at the USPTO.
Class 26 — Haberdashery and hair accessories
Sewing notions, trimmings, artificial flowers and hair accessories — including wigs and extensions.
Class 28 — Toys, games and sporting goods
Toys, board games, sports equipment and fitness gear — the physical article, not the activity or the software.
Class 29 — Meat, dairy and prepared foods
Foods of animal origin, plus processed fruit and vegetables. Where a food brand falls between class 29 and class 30 is decided by what the product is mainly made of.
