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.

  • Beer and non-alcoholic drinksClass 32: Beers and Beverages
  • 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

Trademarks registered in this class: José Cuervo, Don Julio, El Jimador

Classes commonly filed alongside Class 33

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.
