Trademark Registration – Classification  Guide Class 13 in Japan

I’ve decided to start selling new fireworks for use at summer festivals.
I’ve prepared a product name and logo that will have a gorgeous impact like fireworks, and I want to register it as a trademark to prevent others from using it.

Then you need to remember to designate Class 13, which includes ‘fireworks in shell form’!
Class 13 contains a lot of GOODS related to firearms, tanks [weapons], and pyrotechnic products! Let’s check it out.

In the future, I’m thinking of downsizing and developing fireworks products for home use, but should I designate the same class13?

Class 13 is a category (classification) of firearms and pyrotechnic products, etc.

Class 13 mainly includes firearms, ammunition for firearms and projectiles [weapons], gunpowder, and fireworks.
