What Class 29 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.

The most expensive mistake in Class 29

The boundary between class 29 and class 30 is the one that generates the most office actions in food. The practical rule: class 29 groups what is of animal origin together with preserved or processed plant products; class 30 groups plant-based pantry staples, such as flours, coffee, sauces and bakery. A single catalogue often falls into both, and describing it badly is what stalls the file.

Who files in Class 29

  • Meat and cold cuts
  • Dairy and cheese
  • Preserves and canned goods
  • Edible oils
  • Frozen foods

Trademarks registered in this class: Nestlé, Del Monte, Lala

Classes commonly filed alongside Class 29

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.
