Choosing the wrong class is one of the most common reasons trademark applications in India face objections or end up with limited protection. The Trademark Class Search tool by Litem Legalis simplifies this step by matching a product or service keyword with the relevant class under the Nice Classification, which divides all goods into Classes 1 to 34 and all services into Classes 35 to 45.

The tool is useful for startups, small businesses, e-commerce sellers and brand owners preparing to file Form TM-A on the IP India portal. Since the government fee for trademark registration is charged per class, identifying the right classes in advance also helps estimate the filing cost. Detailed guidance on the complete process is available on the trademark registration page of Litem Legalis.
