Trademark Classes & Defensibility

You do not own a name in a vacuum. You own the right to use that name within a specific commercial context, defined by international classes.

  • Class 9: Software and Electronics. The most contested class globally.
  • Class 35: Advertising and Business Management.
  • Class 42: SaaS and Technology Services.

A name can be legally sound in Class 32 (Beverages) but completely indefensible in Class 9. Before executing a domain acquisition, run a preliminary check using our TM Screener.
