Trademark Class 40: Material Treatment & Manufacturing Services

What Trademark Class 40 Covers

Class 40 covers the treatment and processing of materials for others — including custom manufacturing, recycling, water and air treatment, printing services, and tailoring. It is for businesses that transform materials as a service.

Common Businesses That Register in Class 40

If your business is one of the following, Class 40 is likely to be one of the trademark classes you need:

• Custom and contract manufacturing services

How to Register a Trademark in Class 40

Trademarks in India are registered class by class. To protect your brand in Class 40, a TM-A application is filed for that class with the Trade Marks Registry. If your business spans more than one class, each class is a separate application with its own government fee.

IPForte files your trademark within 48 hours of receiving documents. See the full process on our trademark registration page, or estimate the government and professional fees with the trademark cost calculator.
