Trademark Class

A category in the Nice Classification system used to scope trademark registrations.

Trademarks are registered within specific classes of goods and services. Software typically falls under class 9, advertising and business services under class 35, education under class 41. Two companies can hold the same mark in different unrelated classes (a sandwich shop and a SaaS company can coexist as 'Loomly') because rights are class-scoped. Conflict happens when classes overlap or when consumer confusion is plausible.
