Cotton Wicks (Batti) – Essential Puja Item for Diya & Aarti

#Trademark Class 16 – Complete Guide for Applicants

Trademark Class 16 under the NICE Classification covers paper goods, stationery, packaging materials, and certain processed religious articles supplied as puja samagri, when they are non-textile finished consumables prepared and packed for ritual use.

Cotton Wicks, commonly known as Batti, are an essential part of Hindu puja, diya lighting, aarti, temples, festivals, and daily worship. They are used to light oil lamps (diyas) and symbolize light, purity, devotion, and the removal of darkness.

When cotton wicks are processed, shaped, cut, packed, and sold specifically as puja samagri, they are commonly filed under Trademark Class 16.

If your business manufactures or sells Cotton Wicks (Batti) for religious or ritual purposes, your brand should be registered under Class 16 for trademark protection.

This class is essential for puja samagri brands, temple suppliers, religious product manufacturers, and spiritual goods companies.
