Trademark Class 28: Toys, games and sporting goods
Toys, board games, sports equipment and fitness gear — the physical article, not the activity or the software.
“Games, toys and playthings; video game apparatus; gymnastic and sporting articles; decorations for Christmas trees.”
Official class heading, Nice Agreement, Eleventh Edition. Published by the USPTO.
Typical goods and services in class 28
- Toys, dolls, plush and playsets
- Board games, card games and puzzles
- Sports equipment and gym apparatus
- Yoga and fitness accessories
- Christmas tree decorations
Example of pre-approved USPTO wording for this class: Toys; board games. Using the USPTO’s own ID Manual language keeps your filing fee at the base rate — describing your goods in your own words carries a surcharge of $200 per class.

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 26 — Haberdashery and hair accessories
Sewing notions, trimmings, artificial flowers and hair accessories — including wigs and extensions.
Class 27 — Carpets and floor coverings
Things that cover a floor that is already there — carpets, rugs, mats and vinyl.
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.
Class 30 — Coffee, bakery, snacks and condiments
Plant-based staples and prepared foods — coffee, baked goods, sauces, sweets and spices. The busiest food class for small brands.
