Nice classes for a business built with AI
Trademarks are registered per class of goods or services, on the Nice Classification's 45 classes. A business built on software rarely needs more than a few.
| Class | Covers | Typical for |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | Downloadable software, apps, electronics | an app, a downloadable tool, a device |
| 42 | Software as a service, design and technology services | a SaaS, an API, an agent, a platform |
| 35 | Advertising, business management, retail | a marketplace, an agency, an online store |
| 36 | Financial services | payments, banking, insurance, crypto |
| 41 | Education and entertainment | courses, media, games, newsletters |
| 38 | Telecommunications | messaging, hosting, connectivity |
| 45 | Legal, security and personal services | legal tech, identity, dating |
Pick by what the customer pays for
A downloadable app is class 9; the same product used in a browser is class 42; a store that sells other people's goods is class 35. Many filings cover two or three.
The search maps a plain answer to "what will you sell" onto these classes. When you know the classes, pass them directly.
