The most expensive mistake in Class 18

A fashion brand that registers class 25 only leaves its accessories out. The bag, the wallet and the leather belt travel in class 18, not with the clothing. It is the same brand and the same customer, but for IMPI they are separate applications, and the class you did not file is the one left free for a third party to take.

Classes commonly filed alongside Class 18

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?
