Kapoor (Camphor) – Sacred Fragrant Substance for Puja & Aarti

#Trademark Class 3 – Complete Guide for Applicants

Trademark Class 3 under the NICE Classification covers non-medicated cosmetic preparations, fragrant substances, incense-related products, and religious-use materials meant for puja, aarti, and ritual purposes.

Kapoor, commonly known as Camphor, is an essential part of Hindu puja, aarti, havan, temples, festivals, and daily worship. It is burned during aarti to purify the surroundings and symbolize spiritual cleansing and devotion.

Since Kapoor used for puja is non-medicated and non-edible, it is correctly classified under Trademark Class 3.

If your business manufactures or sells Kapoor / Camphor for religious or ritual use, your brand must be registered under Class 3 to secure trademark protection.

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