If your business manufactures or sells hand tools, cutlery, grooming instruments, or similar products, registering your trademark under Class 8 is essential to protect your brand in a hands-on, quality-driven market.
Our senior Intellectual Property lawyers manage the entire process—conducting detailed trademark search, filing your application, ensuring formality check clearance, handling examinations and hearings, and obtaining your trademark registration certificate. With fast-track filing in just 6 hours, an efficient online process, and ongoing support for objections, renewals, and assignments, Vakilsearch ensures your Class 8 brand is protected with expert guidance and minimal hassle.
Class 8 covers hand-operated tools and instruments such as gardening tools, hand saws, scissors, razors, manicure sets, and cutlery. It also includes grooming tools like non-electric hair clippers, tweezers, and nail files.
If you manufacture motorised tools, surgical instruments, or kitchen utensils that don’t have cutting functions, Class 8 is not suitable. Instead, consider Classes 7 (for powered machines), 10 (for medical tools), or 21 (for general kitchen items).
Yes. Non-electric razors, hair removal tools, shaving kits, and personal grooming tools fall under Class 8. This includes tattooing tools and manicure/pedicure kits, as long as they are manually operated.
Yes, table knives, forks, and spoons—including those made of precious metals—are part of Class 8. This makes it essential for brands producing dining cutlery or customized flatware to register in this class.
Registering under Class 8 protects your brand identity and product line in the manual tools and cutlery sector. It gives legal rights to prevent misuse of your trademark and ensures exclusive recognition in the competitive marketplace.
