Trademark classes for consumer electronics — FAQ
Which trademark class is a consumer-electronics brand registered in?
The primary class is Class 9 (Software & electronics). Electronics, computers, audio devices, batteries, and smart devices. Many consumer electronics businesses also file in Class 11, Class 35 to cover the full brand.
Do I need to register in more than one class for consumer electronics?
Often, yes. A trademark only protects the goods and services in the classes you file. If a consumer-electronics brand sells products and also retails them online, those can be different classes — Class 9, Class 11, 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 consumer-electronics 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 consumer electronics 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.
