What class 17 covers
The summary above is ours, written to help people find the right class. It isn’t IP Australia’s official class heading, and it doesn’t list everything in the class. For the exact goods and services, search IP Australia’s trade mark pick list.
A trade mark is registered for the goods or services in its application, so a registration in class 17 doesn’t cover other classes. Our guide to picking your classes explains how to choose.
