Trademark classes for dairy products — FAQ

Which trademark class is a dairy brand registered in?

The primary class is Class 29 (Meat, dairy & processed foods). Milk and dairy products sit in the processed-foods class. Many dairy products businesses also file in Class 30, Class 35 to cover the full brand.

Do I need to register in more than one class for dairy products?

Often, yes. A trademark only protects the goods and services in the classes you file. If a dairy brand sells products and also retails them online, those can be different classes — Class 29, Class 30, Class 35. 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 dairy brand 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.

How do I make sure my dairy products name is available?

Before you file, run a conflict check against the Indian Trade Marks Registry in your class to see if an identical or similar mark already exists. Filing a name that conflicts with an earlier mark risks objection or opposition — and the loss of your fee.
