What Class 10 does NOT protect
These look similar but belong to another class. Choosing wrong is the most common reason a trademark protects less than its owner believes.
- Medicines, supplements and wound care materialsGoes in Class 5
- Medical services, clinics and practicesGoes in Class 44
- Downloadable diagnostic softwareGoes in Class 9
- Distribution and sale of medical equipmentGoes in Class 35
The most expensive mistake in Class 10
A modern medical device is almost never a single class. The apparatus is class 10, the app the patient downloads is class 9 and the cloud platform that stores the data is class 42. On top of that, as in class 5, registering the trademark does not authorise the sale: medical devices require their own procedure before COFEPRIS, which runs separately and on its own timeline.
Who files in Class 10
- Medical device manufacturers
- Orthopaedics and prosthetics
- Dental equipment
- Distributors with their own label
- Diagnostic technology

Classes commonly filed alongside Class 10
In Mexico each class is a separate application. Which classes you need depends on what your business actually does and how you plan to enter the market, not on the classes being related to each other. These show up in similar businesses, but the right list comes from your own activity.

Not sure which class you need?
A wrongly chosen class cannot be fixed later: you refile and you pay again. We review your case and tell you exactly which classes your trademark belongs in before anything is filed.
