Trademark classes · By business type
Which trademark classes does a bakery need?
Most bakeries register in class 30 (Coffee, cereals & condiments) and class 43 (Restaurants & hospitality).
Bread, cakes and pastries sit in the food class for baked goods, which is where a bakery brand's protection begins. A bakery with seating or a café counter usually adds the hospitality class, and the retail class covers selling packaged products.

Before you file in class 30, make sure the name is free. If it's already taken, your application can be refused — and the £205 IPO fee isn't refunded. Checking takes seconds and costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions
- What trademark class is a bakery in?
- Most bakeries register in classes 30 and 43. Class 30 covers coffee, cereals & condiments; Class 43 covers restaurants & hospitality. You only ever register the classes that match what you actually sell.
- Do bakeries need to register in more than one class?
- Often, yes. A trademark is only protected in the classes you register, and you pay a fee for each one. Many bakeries file in classes 30 and 43 together, then add others as the business grows.
- How much does it cost a bakery to register a trademark?
- Filing direct with the UK IPO costs £205 for the first class and £60 for each additional class, so a bakery covering classes 30 and 43 pays about £265. The fee isn't refunded if your mark is refused — which is why checking the name is free first matters. See the full cost breakdown .
