What trademark class is a pet brand in?

Most pet brands register in classes 31 and 18. Class 31 covers fresh produce & live animals; Class 18 covers leather & luggage. You only ever register the classes that match what you actually sell.

Do pet 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 pet brands file in classes 31 and 18 together, then add others as the business grows.

How much does it cost a pet 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 pet brand covering classes 31 and 18 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 pet brand need?

Most pet brands register in class 31 (Fresh produce & live animals) and class 18 (Leather & luggage).

Pet products span several classes depending on what you sell: food, accessories, toys and supplements each sit in a different place. A brand with a full range often files in several at once.

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.
