Trademark International Class: Class 14 (Jewelry)

All goods or services are categorized within International Classes (IC hereafter). Goods run from classes IC 1-34, while Services are in IC 35-45. Let's take a closer look at one of these trademark classes - class 14. What is International Class 14 All About?

Each class has a short title heading that gives a snapshot of what that class is all about -- IC 14's short title is jewelry. Seems pretty straightforward, right? But, as with anything trademark, there's more to it than that. The USPTO has about 288 accepted descriptions that fit into IC 14.

Any jewelry item you could possibly think of belongs in this class, such as earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, anklets and watches. Also includes is jewelry for your pet.

What Else is in International Class 14?

Seems like with any of these trademark classes, there always seems to be the oddball item or two and IC 14 is no exception. Here are a few items living in IC 14 that while connected to jewelry are not necessarily jewelry itself:

• precious metals and stones, such as gold, silver, opals, agate, topaz, peridot, etc.

• clocks be they alarm, for the car or incorporating a radio

• collectible coins

• jewelry boxes, cases, organizers as well as jewelry making kits

What's New for International Class 14?

The classification guide is constantly being updated with new goods or services. As the marketplace changes, the trademark office must adapt. Here are some of the 2009 listings for international class 14, good plus date added to the guide:

• Threads of precious metal 25 Jun 09

Re: About: product production! - [quote="FreshGoods":1yq3rfuo]Most importantly,with all that has been said...when is it absolutely appropriate to patent your idea? Why do people file for patents if it is not necessary? I would really like to know this please. I appreciate your helpful tips a lot! THANKS.[/quote:1yq3rfuo] Hi FreshGoods, Don't forget that you can always patent your product yourself (or even incorporate your company or apply for a trademark or copyright) and without the help of a lawyer. It would save you a lot of money. For instance, if I got my Trademark filed by my lawyer, it would've cost about $1200+. But going through the process myself by simply reading the official brochure only cost about $450 total.
