Trademark Registration – Classification Guide Class 21 in Japan How to chose goods/services 2022年5月17日 2024年4月15日 Amazing DX guide We have decided to start marketing cooking utensils. First of all, we have prepared an impactful product name and logo for the “frying pans”, 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 21, which includes “cooking pots and pans”! Class 21 includes many goods related to small manual utensils for the kitchen! Let’s check it out. In the future, we would like to develop a variety of cooking utensils that can be used conveniently, so it seems to be better to designate other goods in Class 21. Is it possible to designate ”electric pressure cookers” in Class 21 as well…? Class 21 is a classification for small manual kitchen utensils, cosmetic utensils, glassware, etc. Class 21 includes mainly small manual utensils for household and kitchen use, cosmetic utensils, glassware, and ceramics. It may be easier to understand if you associate them with tools and containers used in the home on a daily basis. Goods included in Class 21 and Goods NOT included in Class 21 List of main goods in Class 21 The main goods included in Class 21 are listed below.These goods can be designated by Amazing DX. floss for dental purposesunworked or semi-worked glass, not for buildingmangers for animals [troughs for livestock]poultry ringsperfume burnersperfume burnerstoothbrushes, electriccosmetic utensils, other than "toothbrushes, electric"tub brushes; metal brushes; brushes for pipes; industrial brushes; ship-scrubbing brushesgloves for household purposesindustrial packaging containers of glass, not including glass stoppers, lids and coversindustrial packaging containers of ceramicsglass stoppers for industrial packaging containers; glass covers and lids for industrial packaging containersindustrial packaging bottles of plasticscooking pots and pans, non-electric; coffee-makers, non-electric; Japanese cast iron kettles, non-electric [Tetsubin]; kettles, non-electricdinnerware, other than knives, forks and spoonsnon-electric ice chests for household purposes; ice-cooling refrigerators for household purposes; kitchen containers for rice; food preserving jars of glass; drinking flasks for travellers; vacuum bottles [insulated flasks]cookware; ice pails; sugar tongs; nutcrackers; pepper pots; sugar bowls; colanders; salt shakers; Japanese style cooked rice scoops [Shamoji]; cooking funnels; drinking straws; Japanese style personal dining trays or stands [Zen]; bottle openers, non-electric; egg cups; tart scoops; napkin holders; napkin rings; hot pads [trivets]; chopsticks; chopstick cases; ladles and dippers for kitchen use; cooking sieves and sifters; trays; toothpicks; toothpick holderscleaning tools and washing utensilsironing boards; tailors' sprayers; ironing boards [Kotedai]; Hera-dai [fabric marking boards]yukakibo [Japanese bath utensils for hot bathtub water]; bathroom pailscandle extinguishers; candlestickscinder sifters for household purposes; Gotoku [trivets for Japanese charcoal heaters for household purposes]; coal scuttles; Japanese charcoal extinguishers [Hikeshi-tsubo]mouse and rat traps; fly swattersflower pots; hydroponic plant pots for home gardening; watering cansbird cages; bird baths; feeding vessels for pets; brushes for petsclothes brusheschamber potspiggy banksamulet; fortune slipcold packs for chilling food and beveragessoap dispensing bottlestanks [indoor aquaria] and their fittingstoilet paper holdersflower vases; flower bowlsupright signboards of glass or ceramicsprize cups of porcelain, ceramic, earthenware, terra-cotta or glass; commemorative shields of porcelain, ceramic, earthenware, terra-cotta or glassshoe brushes; shoe horns; shoe shine cloths; shoe shine sponges and cloths; shoe-trees [stretchers]portable cooking kits for outdoor useinsect collectors' boxes; insect collecting boxes in the form of a flattened cylindrical metal casecattle hair for brushes, raccoon dog hair for brushes, pig bristles for brushes and horsehair for brushes The above list of “the main goods included in Class 21” is just an example.Let’s take a closer look at what other goods are included in Class 21 and what goods are not.
