Find your USPTO trademark class, and gauge your name's strength before you file
Describe what you sell, get the likely USPTO Nice class, the related classes to also check, and a quick read on how strong your name is. Free, instant, and you don't need to hand over your email to see the result.
Informational only, not legal advice. This is a keyword-matching tool over our class reference data, not a live USPTO search. Verify on USPTO's Trademark Search system (tmsearch.uspto.gov) or TSDR, and consult an attorney before filing.
Frequently asked questions
- What USPTO trademark class am I in?
- It depends on what you actually sell, not your industry label. A running shoe brand is Class 25 (footwear); the same brand's online store is Class 35 (retail services). Describe the specific product or service and the tool matches it against our class reference data.
- Is this a real trademark search?
- No. This tool matches your description against editorial class-conflict reference data, the same data behind our trademark class guides. It does not search live USPTO filings for your exact name. Use USPTO's Trademark Search system (tmsearch.uspto.gov) or TSDR, or an attorney, before you file.
- What does the name-strength flag mean?
- It is a rough Abercrombie-spectrum read: whether your name describes the product itself (Generic or Descriptive, both harder to register and easier to lose in a dispute) or is distinctive from it (Suggestive or Arbitrary/fanciful, both stronger). It is a pattern to know before filing, not a legal opinion.
- Do I need more than one class?
- Often, yes. The goods and the service around them are usually different classes; for example the product itself versus its online store, or a downloadable app versus the hosted service behind it. The tool lists related classes worth clearing alongside the top match.
