Trademark Class 22 - Overview

Trademark Class 22 relates to a number of textile and fibrous materials. It covers awnings, tarpaulins, sails, sacks, ropes, string, nets, tents, and raw fibrous textile material. Padding and stuffing material-except those made of rubber or plastics-are also within this class. Thus, it has impressive protection for your brand in these categories.

Trademark registration under Class 22, your brand acquires exclusive rights in the textile and fibrous material. In case your ropes or nets to padding materials become misrepresented, the registration safeguards you, and thus your brand is allowed to be treated with reverence in both national and international markets.

The Class 22 of trademark offers protection for any business involved in the manufacture or sale of textile or fibrous products. While keeping others away from the market, it further solidifies your brand's identity. Class 22 trademark registration is renewable every 10 years and ensures your brand is not only secure but also recognised; it makes the trademark more stabilized and provides long-term benefits.
