Trademark applications and registrations in Class 44 over the past 15 years.
Class 44 covers medical services, veterinary services, hygienic and beauty care for humans or animals, and agriculture, horticulture, and forestry services. It is a substantial service class that bridges the healthcare, wellness, beauty, and agricultural industries — an unusually wide range united by their connection to the care of living things.
The class encompasses physician and dental practices, hospital services, telemedicine platforms, mental health counseling, pharmacy services, optometry, physical therapy, veterinary clinics, beauty salons, spas, nutritional counseling, landscape design, and farming services. Top filing firms include LZ Legal Services, LegalForce RAPC, and Greenberg Traurig, with filing volume driven by the fragmented nature of healthcare and beauty services — thousands of independent practitioners, clinics, salon chains, and wellness brands each seek trademark protection.
Classification boundaries in Class 44 require particular care. Medical device products are goods in Class 10, but medical treatment services using those devices belong in Class 44. Pharmaceutical products are goods in Class 5, but pharmacy dispensing services are in Class 44. Beauty salons providing hair styling services file in Class 44, but hair care products (shampoo, conditioner) are goods in Class 3. Fitness and exercise instruction belong in Class 41, not Class 44, unless the service specifically involves health or rehabilitation therapy. Nutritional counseling and dietitian services are in Class 44, but restaurant services — even health-focused restaurants — belong in Class 43.
Multi-class strategies for healthcare brands routinely pair Class 44 with Class 5 for pharmaceutical products, Class 10 for medical devices, and Class 42 for health technology platforms and telemedicine software infrastructure. Beauty and wellness brands typically combine Class 44 for salon and spa services with Class 3 for cosmetics and personal care products. Agricultural enterprises should consider Class 44 alongside Class 31 for agricultural products and Class 35 for agricultural consulting and marketplace services.
Class 44 includes mainly medical care, hygienic and beauty care given by persons or establishments to human beings and animals; it also includes services relating to the fields of agriculture, horticulture and forestry.
