What Class 11 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.
- Air condensers and electricity generatorsGoes in Class 7
- Ovens for laboratory useGoes in Class 9
- Signalling lightsGoes in Class 9
- Cooking utensils without an integrated heat source, such as non-electric pressure cookersGoes in Class 21
- Non-electric portable coolersGoes in Class 21
- Electrically heated clothingGoes in Class 25

The most expensive mistake in Class 11
Class 11 requires a source of heat, cold, light or water built into the apparatus. The same grill is class 11 if it is electric and class 21 if it burns charcoal; the household lamp is class 11, but the laboratory lamp or the signalling light is class 9. A kitchen or lighting brand usually needs class 11 and class 21 together.
