We recently issued a new examination guide on the class headings and explanatory notes of the international trademark classes under the Nice Classification, 11th edition, version 2018. The updated class headings became effective Jan. 1. See 37 C.F.R. §6.1.

The guide is posted on the Trademark examination guides webpage. Questions about the guide may be directed to TMTMEP@uspto.gov.
