What trademark class is a florist in?

Most florists register in classes 31 and 35. Class 31 covers fresh produce & live animals; Class 35 covers advertising & retail. You only ever register the classes that match what you actually sell.

Do florists 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 florists file in classes 31 and 35 together, then add others as the business grows.

How much does it cost a florist to register a trademark?

Filing direct with the UK IPO costs £205 for the first class and £60 for each additional class, so a florist covering classes 31 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.

Which trademark classes does a florist need?

Most florists register in class 31 (Fresh produce & live animals) and class 35 (Advertising & retail).

Flowers and plants themselves are goods in the natural-products class, while selling them through a shop or website is a retail service. Florists who deliver orders or design arrangements for events touch the transport and horticulture classes too.

Before you file in class 31, 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.
