Trademark Registration – Classification Guide Class 11 in Japan

It seems that high-end bread is popular, so I wonder what it would be like to launch a high-performance “electric toaster”. First of all, we have prepared a product name and logo that will convey the appeal of my goods, and we would like to register it as a trademark so that others will not imitate us.
Then you need to remember to designate Class 11, which includes “household electrothermic appliances”!
Class 11 includes a lot of goods related to household cooking appliances! Let’s check it out.
Considering the future product development of cooking utensils, it would be better to designate other goods in class 11. Is it possible to designate “pressure cookers, non-electric” in Class 11 as well, although the cost would be the same for the same classification…?

Class 11 is a classification of environmental control apparatus and devices, etc.

It may be easier to understand if you associate them with lighting and cooking appliances sold at electronics retailers.

Goods included in Class 11 and Goods NOT included in Class 11.

List of main goods in Class 11.

The main goods included in Class 11 are listed below.
These goods can be designated by Amazing DX.

The above list of “the main goods included in Class 11” is just an example.
Let’s take a closer look at what other goods are included in Class 11 and what goods are not.

What should you do if you want to specify such items? (Goods included in Class 11)

Goods NOT included in Class 11.

Medical electrical instruments

All of the above【class 10

Non-electric cooking equipment

All of the above【class 21

I see, so “medical electrical instruments” and “non-electric cooking equipment” are in a different classification. So, “pressure cookers for cooking” need to be designated in a separate classification.
Right, a separate classification should be designated for these types of cooking appliances.

Other goods NOT included in Class 11.

Even if they use electricity, these goods in class 11 aren’t!

File a trademark application, designating goods in Class 11!

Class 11 is for electrical appliances and lighting apparatus. Please consider class 11 first if you are an electrical appliance manufacturer.
