Classification is tied to actual use

A business may need more than one class when its brand is used for products, retail activities, software, consulting, or other services. Classification should follow the actual goods or services and the way the mark will be used.

Class headings are a starting point

A class heading does not replace a properly drafted list of goods or services. Taiwan-specific accepted terminology and current official classification resources should be checked when preparing an application.

Coordinate classification with clearance

A useful search considers relevant goods or services and market relationships, not only identical class numbers.
