Trdemark Registration – Classification Guide Class 43 in Japan How to chose goods/services 2022年5月10日 2022年6月10日 Amazing DX Support Team I’ve decided to open a restaurant. First, I’ve prepared an impactful service name and logo for my upcoming restaurant, so I want to register it as a trademark to prevent others from copying it. Then, don’t forget to specify Class 43 that includes “providing foods and beverages”.Class 43 includes many services provided aiming to prepare food and drink for consumption and services of providing temporary accommodation. Please chek it out. Considering the future development of the restaurant services, I think it would be better to designate other services in Class 43. If they are included in the same class, the cost will be the same. But I wonder if food and drink catering can also be designated in Class 43 …? Class 43 is a category for services provided aiming to prepare food and drink for consumption and services of providing temporary accommodation Class 43 mainly includes services provided aiming to prepare food and drink for consumption and services of providing temporary accommodation. It may be easier to understand if you think of services closely related to our daily life such as providing temporary accommodation, preschooler and infant care at daycare centers, retirement home services, and rental of meeting rooms as well as providing foods and beverages.
