Trade marks are a highly important part of your branding, and can help to ensure you stand out amongst your competitors. However, you should note that your trade mark will only protect the classes of goods and services you select when registering your mark. In New Zealand, these classes are separated under the Nice Classification system. In particular, Class 36 covers financial services. This article will take you through a guide to trade mark Class 36.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trade mark classes refer to categories established under the Nice Classification system to organise goods and services. This system is used for trade mark registration purposes. Each class links similar types of goods or services to make it easier to search for and register trade marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ) is just one trade mark authority who uses the Nice classification system to streamline the registration process and to avoid conflicts between similar marks. However, the system is used globally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
