Trademark classes · By business type
Which trademark classes does a coffee roaster need?
Most coffee roasters register in class 30 (Coffee, cereals & condiments) and class 35 (Advertising & retail).
Roasted coffee is a packaged good, so a roaster's protection starts in the food class that covers coffee and tea. If you also run a café you'll want the hospitality class; if you sell online, add retail.

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 coffee roaster in?
- Most coffee roasters register in classes 30 and 35. Class 30 covers coffee, cereals & condiments; Class 35 covers advertising & retail. You only ever register the classes that match what you actually sell.
- Do coffee roasters 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 coffee roasters file in classes 30 and 35 together, then add others as the business grows.
- How much does it cost a coffee roaster to register a trademark?
- Filing direct with the UK IPO costs £205 for the first class and £60 for each additional class, so a coffee roaster covering classes 30 and 35 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 .
