Trademark classes for footwear — FAQ
Which trademark class is a footwear brand registered in?
The primary class is Class 25 (Clothing, footwear, headwear). Footwear sits in the same class as clothing and headwear. Many footwear businesses also file in Class 35, Class 18 to cover the full brand.
Do I need to register in more than one class for footwear?
Often, yes. A trademark only protects the goods and services in the classes you file. If a footwear brand sells products and also retails them online, those can be different classes — Class 25, Class 35, Class 18. 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 footwear 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 footwear 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.
