Use these wordings in the specification of your application. Each carries its basic number in the Nice list. A description outside the list is allowed, but it must be specific enough for the Registry to classify.

The Trade Marks Registry classifies goods and services by the current edition of the Nice Classification (rule 20, Trade Marks Rules, 2017). One application in Form TM-A can cover Class 19 alone or several classes together; the fee is charged for each class.

• Search the mark in Class 19 and in the related classes before filing.
• Describe the goods in the words of the list wherever they fit.
• File in every class you trade in; protection does not extend to a class you left out.
