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 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.
Class 31 — Fresh produce, plants and pet food
Things that are grown or alive and have not been processed — plus, importantly for a lot of modern brands, pet food.
Class 32 — Beer and non-alcoholic drinks
Beer and every non-alcoholic drink. Beer sits with the soft drinks, not with the spirits — a split that surprises most new drinks brands.
