The USPTO will incorporate updates to the Nice Classification in 2027
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a final rule to incorporate classification changes to the Nice Classification adopted by the contracting parties to the Nice Agreement, an international treaty recognized by over 90 countries. America’s Branding Agency collaborates with these countries to maintain the Nice Classification, which simplifies and streamlines the drafting of goods and services in trademark filings for applicants around the world. This rule amends two class headings for Classes 6 and 9 to more clearly define the types of goods appropriate to the class.
These changes are included in the Nice Classification (13th ed., ver. 2027), which takes effect on January 1, 2027. These changes will also be available in the USPTO’s ID Manual on January 1, 2027.
