  • Q: What is trademark classification, and how many classifications should I file in?

    Trademark classification categorizes goods or services into specific groups. The number of classifications you need depends on the scope of your business. For example, a clothing brand might file under Class 25 (clothing), Class 35 (retail services), and a third classification for imprinting services on merchandise.
