What Class 36 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 36

A fintech splits into three classes and almost always registers only one. The financial service, which is lending, paying or insuring, is class 36. The cloud platform that makes it possible is class 42. The app the customer downloads is class 9. Registering class 36 alone protects the service and leaves the technology product exposed, and that is usually the asset the company actually sells.

Who files in Class 36

  • Banks and non-bank lenders (SOFOM)
  • Fintech and payment providers
  • Insurers and surety companies
  • Real-estate companies
  • Brokerages and fund managers

Trademarks registered in this class: BBVA, Santander, GNP

Classes commonly filed alongside Class 36

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.
