Trademark classes for consulting & agency — FAQ
Which trademark class is a consulting firm or agency registered in?
The primary class is Class 35 (Advertising, business & retail). Business consulting, advertising, marketing, and management services. Many consulting & agency businesses also file in Class 42, Class 41 to cover the full brand.
Do I need to register in more than one class for consulting & agency?
Often, yes. A trademark only protects the goods and services in the classes you file. If a consulting firm or agency sells products and also retails them online, those can be different classes — Class 35, Class 42, Class 41. You can cover them all in one multi-class application, but each class adds its own government fee.
How much does it cost to trademark a consulting firm or agency in India?
The government fee is ₹4,500 per class for an individual, startup, or small enterprise (e-filing), and ₹9,000 per class for companies and other applicants. So filing in 3 classes costs 3 × that per-class fee. Use the Trademark Fee Calculator to total it for your applicant type.
