How do i choose the correct trademark class? can i change it later if i selected the wrong class?

Choosing the correct class is very important because trademark protection only applies to the goods or services covered by your application.

If the wrong class is selected, you generally cannot simply switch to another class after filing. In many cases, a fresh application may be required.

Always identify:

Current business activity
Future expansion plans
Related products/services

before filing.
