Trademark Class 17

Trademark Class 17 covers unprocessed and semi-processed rubber, gutta-percha, gum, asbestos, mica, and their substitutes; plastics and resins in extruded form for manufacturing; packing, sealing, and insulating materials; non-metallic flexible pipes, tubes, and hoses. Trademark registration for packing materials, sealing, insulating materials, and flexible non-metallic pipes must be done under Trademark Class 17. Businesses dealing with raw materials and semi-finished products for industrial use should choose Trademark Class 17 while opting for registration.

Class 17 mainly includes electrical, thermal, and acoustic insulating materials, plastics for manufacturing in the form of sheets, blocks, and rods, as well as certain goods made of rubber, gutta-percha, gum, asbestos, mica, or their substitutes.

  • This Class includes, in particular:

  • Rubber materials used for tyre retreading
  • Floating barriers to prevent pollution
  • Adhesive tapes (excluding those for stationery, medical, or household use)
  • Plastic films not intended for wrapping or packaging, such as anti-glare window films
  • Elastic threads made of rubber or plastic (not for textile applications)
  • Miscellaneous goods made from rubber, plastics, or similar materials that are not categorised by function, such as:
  • Foam supports for floral arrangements
  • Rubber or plastic padding and stuffing materials
  • Rubber stoppers and shock-absorbing buffers
  • Rubber packaging bags and envelopes
  • This Class does not include, in particular:

  • Fire hoses (Class 9)
  • Sanitary piping components (Class 11), metal pipes (Class 6), and rigid non-metal pipes (Class 19)
  • Insulating glass used in construction (Class 19)
  • Materials classified by their specific function, such as:
  • Gum resins (Class 2)
  • Dental rubber (Class 5)
  • Asbestos protection screens for firefighters (Class 9)
  • Rubber repair patches for inner tubes (Class 12)
  • Erasers (Class 16)

Who Should Register Under Trademark Class 17?

Businesses or individuals involved in the following should register under Trademark Class 17:

  • Manufacturers of rubber, gutta-percha, gum, asbestos, or mica materials
  • Suppliers of plastic sheets, rods, and films used in manufacturing (excluding for packaging)
  • Producers of thermal, acoustic, or electrical insulation materials
  • Makers of flexible non-metallic pipes, tubes, and hoses
  • Vendors of padding, stuffing, sealing, or shock-absorbing materials made of rubber or plastic

Frequently Asked Questions

Class 17 covers unprocessed and semi-processed rubber, plastic, and other materials used in insulation, packing, and manufacturing. It includes plastic sheets, rods, sealing materials, non-metallic hoses, and flexible pipes. It is essential for businesses supplying industrial raw materials rather than finished consumer goods.

Companies involved in producing or selling insulating materials, rubber goods, plastic films (not for wrapping), and similar items should register under Class 17. This class is particularly important for manufacturers in the automotive, construction, electrical, and industrial supply sectors.

No, plastic packaging materials such as plastic bags or wraps used for packaging fall under Class 16. Class 17 only includes plastic products used in industrial manufacturing, such as extruded plastic sheets and films not meant for wrapping or transport.

Yes, flexible pipes, tubes, and hoses made from rubber or similar non-metallic materials are included under Class 17. However, rigid non-metallic pipes for building are classified under Class 19, and metal pipes are under Class 6.

Class 17 excludes materials classified by their specific function or use, such as erasers (Class 16), fire hoses (Class 9), and rubber patches for vehicle repairs (Class 12). It also excludes insulating glass for buildings (Class 19) and decorative items made from rubber or plastic.
