#💡 Practical Tips for Trademark Applicants
Always mention the primary materials used: “wood, plastic, rattan, or non-metallic.”
Use broad terms like:
“Furniture; mirrors; picture frames; goods (not included in other classes) made of wood, cork, reed, cane, wicker, horn, bone, ivory, shell, amber, mother-of-pearl, meerschaum, and substitutes for these materials, or plastics.”Include both residential and commercial furniture if applicable.
If you sell interior design products or décor, combine with Class 35 (retail) or Class 42 (design services).
Avoid confusing “household containers” (Class 21) with furniture items (Class 20).
