Overview of Trademark Class 9 - Computer, Software and Electronics

Trademark Class 9 is for registering various ranges of trademarks for nautical, scientific, surveying, optical, photographic, cinematographic, weighing, signaling and measuring devices. The heading gives you a broad overview about what exactly has included in this particular class.

Trademark Class 9 particularly includes protractors, instruments for controlling ships, such as:-

  • Equipment and instruments for measuring and for transmitting orders,
  • Equipment and instruments for scientific research in laboratories,
  • All computer programs as well as software regardless of recording media or means of broadcasting,
  • Software recorded on magnetic media or downloaded from any remote computer network,
  • Punching card for office machines

Concept of Trademark Classification

In India, all five regional trademark registry offices have these services and at the international levels, almost all international treaties associated with trademarks have been served by Trademark class 9 in connection with Trademark Registration of various classes of the Nice Classification. The international treaties and conventions include the Madrid Protocol, the TRIPS Agreement, the Berne or Paris Convention, and the Community Trademark of European Union.

What are the Related Classes?

A related class is one which is associated to another class; because the USPTO has determined that applicants filing for Trademark Class 9 also need to file for the coordinated classes.

The correct class should indicate at the time of applying for registration of trademark, because if the class is found incorrect then the application process will starts all over again. If you are uncertain about registering in Trademark Class 9, you can consider the following “coordinated” classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Trademark Class is a standard under the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) - Nice Classification for the classification of goods and services.

Trademark Class 9 includes in particular includes protractors, instruments for controlling ships, such as equipment and instruments for measuring and for transmitting orders, equipment and instruments for scientific research in laboratories, all computer programs as well as software regardless of recording media or means of broadcasting.

There are other “coordinated” classes to consider. They are

  • Class 10 – Medical Supplies
  • Class 16 – Paper Goods
  • Class 28 – Games and Sporting Goods
  • Class 35 – Advertising and Business Services
  • Class 38 – Telecommunications Services
  • Class 39 – Shipping and Travel Services
  • Class 41 – Education and Entertainment Services
  • Class 42 – Science and Technology Services
  • Class 44 – Medical and Vet Services.

The goods that does not come under Trademark Class 9 are-

  • Game equipment adapted for use with an exterior display screen or monitor;
  • Electromechanical equipment and certain other equipments and instruments driven by an electrical motor;
  • Electrical equipment for space heating or for the heating of liquids, ventilating;
  • Electric toothbrushes and combs;
  • Electric razors, clippers and flat irons;
  • Control clocks;
  • Clocks and watches and other chronometric instruments;
  • Apparatus for pumping or dispensing fuels.
