What trademark class is a furniture brand in?

Most furniture brands register in classes 20 and 35. Class 20 covers furniture; Class 35 covers advertising & retail. You only ever register the classes that match what you actually sell.

Do furniture brands 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 furniture brands file in classes 20 and 35 together, then add others as the business grows.

How much does it cost a furniture brand to register a trademark?

Filing direct with the UK IPO costs £205 for the first class and £60 for each additional class, so a furniture brand covering classes 20 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 furniture brand need?

Most furniture brands register in class 20 (Furniture) and class 35 (Advertising & retail).

Furniture is classified by what it is, not what it's made from, so wooden, metal and plastic pieces all sit together. Homeware brands often add the kitchenware class for tableware and the retail class for selling direct.

Before you file in class 20, 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.
