Trademark Class 40: Treatment of Materials

Trademark Class 40 is the class that deals with service concerns of the treatment of materials. Included in this class are many types of processes in the manufacturing of finished products, for example, manufacturing, treatment, and processing services.
Registration under Class 40 grants your brand rights only in the fields of material treatment and manufacturing. Registration protects your services, such as material processing and treatment to the operation of manufacturing, against infringement and gives your brand a monopoly both domestically and internationally.
Class 40 protection is very important to any business worried about the treatment of materials and manufacturing processes. Registration deters infringement, enhances market presence, and further underlines your brand uniqueness.
Because Class 40 receives renewable protection every 10 years, ongoing legal security continues for your brand, protecting not only the fact that it will remain protected but recognised in the long term.
