Trademark Registration – Classification Guide – Class 37 in Japan How to chose goods/services 2022年6月3日 2022年8月5日 Amazing DX Support Team I’ve decided to start a construction industry. I’ve prepared a high-impact service name and logo for my construction industry, and I want to register it as a trademark to prevent others from copying it. Then you need to remember to designate Class 37, which includes “construction”! Class 37 includes many services in the field of construction and services related to the repair and maintenance of various goods. Let’s check it out. Considering the future development of services in the construction industry, it would be better to designate other services in Class 37. If they are in the same class, the cost is the same, but can we also designate other services, such as “architectural design” in Class 37…? 目次 IndexClass 37 is a classification for services in the field of construction, services for repair and maintenance of various goods, etc.Services included in Class 37 and services not includedList of main services in Class 37When you want to designate the services like the following (services included in Class 37)Other servicesGoods and services not included in Class 37Let’s designate the services in Class 37 and file a trademark application!Class 37 is a classification for services in the field of construction, services for repair and maintenance of various goods, etc. Class 37 mainly includes services in the field of construction and services related to the repair and maintenance of various goods.
