Frequently Asked Questions

Is Class 25 the most commonly filed trademark class?

Yes. Class 25 (Clothing, Footwear, Headgear) is consistently one of the most popular classes for trademark filings worldwide, along with Class 9 (Electronics) and Class 35 (Business Services).

Can the same brand be in both Class 25 and Class 18?

Yes. Many fashion brands file in both Class 25 (clothing and shoes) and Class 18 (handbags, wallets, leather accessories). This is one of the most common multi-class filing combinations.

Are costumes in Class 25?

Clothing costumes worn on the body belong in Class 25. However, theatrical masks and costume accessories may fall under Class 28 (toys/games) if they are primarily for entertainment purposes.

Does Class 25 cover safety clothing?

Protective clothing worn on the body (safety boots, high-visibility vests, gloves) generally belongs in Class 25. Specialized safety equipment (helmets, goggles, harnesses) belongs in Class 9.

Are athleisure and loungewear in Class 25?

Yes. All clothing worn on the body — including athleisure, loungewear, pajamas, and yoga pants — belongs in Class 25 regardless of style or intended activity. The classification is based on the nature of the product (clothing), not how or where it is worn.

Where do shoe insoles and orthotics fall?

Insoles sold as general comfort products are classified in Class 25 as parts of footwear. Orthopedic or medically prescribed insoles and arch supports fall under Class 10 (medical devices). The distinction depends on whether the product makes medical claims.

Does Class 25 cover baby clothing?

Yes. Infant and children clothing, bibs worn as clothing, booties, and onesies all belong in Class 25. Cloth diapers are also in Class 25, while disposable diapers are classified in Class 5 (hygienic products) or Class 16 (paper goods).

Why is Class 25 so difficult for trademark clearance?

With over 406,000 live marks, Class 25 has the highest filing volume of any class, creating extreme competition for distinctive marks. Common English words, geographic terms, and descriptive phrases are heavily claimed. New clothing brands should expect thorough clearance searches and consider more creative or coined marks.

Are compression garments in Class 25 or Class 10?

General athletic compression clothing (compression sleeves, leggings) belongs in Class 25. Medical-grade compression garments prescribed for conditions like lymphedema or varicose veins are classified in Class 10. Marketing and product claims determine the boundary.

Do fashion brands need classes beyond Class 25?

Nearly always. Most fashion brands file in Class 25 (clothing), Class 18 (handbags, leather goods), Class 14 (jewelry, watches), Class 9 (sunglasses), and Class 3 (fragrances, cosmetics). A luxury fashion house may file in ten or more classes to protect its full product range.
