Why is Trademark Search Necessary?
Trademark search is very advantageous at many steps of your trademark registration process. The following are the benefits of a trademark search:
- Before registration, it is advised that you conduct a trademark search. This will save your time and effort, as if there are any trademarks similar to yours, you can opt for something novel and won’t register the current mark.
- There is also a chance of refusal/rejection of your trademark if it doesn’t comply with the Trademark Act, 1999.
- It will continue to save your time and effort even after the registration process is through. For instance, let’s say that you have registered your trademark, but afterward, there is some infringement and so it is liable for revocation. This could be avoided if you have done a trademark research.

Trademark classes and their Classification in India
According to the NICE classification, the trademark is classified into 45 categories. Among this, 34 classes represents goods and 11 represents services. Since each class shows a unique category of goods and services, so you should choose the right class for your trademark. The process is carried out, once you select the category/class for your goods/services.
Classification of goods
- In the case of finished goods, it is classified according to it’s purpose or function. If the function is not mentioned, then the user can classify it by analogy with other comparable finished products (mentioned in the alphabetical list). And even if this is not possible, then an applicant can classify on the basis of the material of which the product is made or it’s mode of operation.
- In the case of multi-purpose finished goods, it could be classified on the basis of any of it’s functions. If the function is not mentioned, then it could be classified on the basis of the material of which the product is made or it’s mode of operation.
- In the case of raw materials, whether unworked/semi-worked, they are classified on the basis of the material they consist of.
- In case a product is made using different materials, then it is classified on the basis of the material that predominates.
- Any good that forms part of another product is in principle classified in the same class as that product only when the same type of goods cannot normally be used for another purpose. In any other case, the first point mentioned above applies.
Classification of services
- The principal basis on which the services are classified is according to the branches of activities specified in the headings of the service classes and in their explanatory notes. And if this is not the case, then this is done using other services mentioned in the Alphabetical List.
- In the case of any rental services, the classification is in the same class as the ‘services provided by means of rented objects.
- Any service that provides advice, information, or consultation is classified in the same class as in the case of matter of the advice, information, or consultation.
