Matching runs in your browser against a curated index of terms mapped to the 45 Nice classes. Partial terms work too, for example "cloth" or "softw".
How classification works
The Nice Classification, administered by WIPO and used by the USPTO, EUIPO, and other offices, sorts every registrable good or service into one of 45 numbered classes. Class 9 covers software and electronics; class 25 clothing; classes 35 through 45 cover services. Your trademark rights attach to the classes you file, which is why conflicting applications in your class matter more than conflicts elsewhere.
The finder is a starting point for finding your classes, not a filing strategy. For how class overlap feeds into opposing a conflicting application, see the trademark opposition guide, and for what continuous coverage looks like, the trademark monitoring page.
For what each class covers, the classes it is most often confused with, and the classes brands file alongside it, browse the trademark classes reference.
Questions about this tool
The Nice Classification divides all goods and services into 45 classes: 1 to 34 cover goods, 35 to 45 cover services. A trademark application must name the classes it covers, and protection extends only to the classes filed.
Yes, and most real products do. A coffee brand sells beans (class 30), branded mugs (class 21), and may run cafés (class 43). The finder surfaces every class your description touches; filings commonly cover several.
It frames where conflicts can hurt you most. A conflicting filing in your core class is a different problem than one in an unrelated class. notolens scans all 45 classes rather than restricting monitoring to a selection, and classes help you read how close a match sits to your actual goods.
Yes. Offices charge filing fees per class, so the classes the finder surfaces are also a scope decision: cover what you actually sell, and weigh adjacent classes against their filing cost.
No. The tool maps your description to the 45 Nice classes as a starting point. Definitive classification follows the WIPO alphabetical list and the USPTO ID Manual, and filing strategy is worth confirming with counsel.
