What Class 33 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 bar, cantina or restaurant where they are servedGoes in Class 43
- Distribution, importing and third-party salesGoes in Class 35
The most expensive mistake in Class 33
Registering your trademark in class 33 and being allowed to use an appellation of origin are two different things. Mexican appellations of origin such as Tequila and Mezcal do not belong to any company: title rests with the Mexican State and use is authorised separately, with verification by the relevant regulatory council. Your class 33 trademark protects the commercial name; authorisation to use the appellation of origin is a separate procedure and neither replaces the other.
Who files in Class 33
- Tequila and mezcal distilleries
- Wineries
- Craft spirits brands
- Importers with their own label
