Trademark Registration – Classification Guide Class 6 in Japan

I’ve decided to start selling lightweight high-strength metal mountaineering equipment.
First of all, I have prepared an impactful product name and logo for the new crampons and haken, and I would like to register it as a trademark to prevent others from copying it.

Then you need to remember to designate Class 6, which contains ‘metal goods’!
Class 6 contains a lot of metal-related goods! Let’s check it out.

Considering the future product development of mountaineering equipment, I think it would be better to designate other products included in class 6.
If they are in the same category, the cost is the same, but I wonder if it would be possible to designate mountaineering sticks in class 6…?

Class 6 is a classification of metals (including ores) and certain metal goods, etc.

Class 6 includes mainly raw and semi-processed metals and metal goods, including ores.

It may be easier to understand if you associate it with the raw materials and processed products handled in metal processing.

Goods included in Class 6 and NOT included in Class 6

List of main goods in Class 6

The following is a list of the main goods included in Class 6.
You may file a Japanese trademark application designating these goods by Amazing DX.

The above list of main goods included in Class 6 is just an example.

all [Class 1]

Certain metal goods classified by function and use

I see, so “mountaineering sticks” are included in a different class, even if they are made of aluminum alloy.

Yes, “mountaineering sticks” should be designated a separate class since it is a companion to cane.

File a trademark application in Japan, designating goods in Class 6!

Class 6 is for metals (including ores) and goods made of metals, etc. Class 6 is for metals (metalworking manufacturers and those in the construction industry should consider Category 6 first.
