What Class 43 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.

  • Packaged food you sell on a shelfClass 30: Staple Foods
  • Bottled drinks under your own brandClass 32: Beers and Beverages
  • The franchise and the business administrationGoes in Class 35
  • Renting venues for cultural or sporting eventsGoes in Class 41

The most expensive mistake in Class 43

Class 43 protects the service of feeding people, not the product that leaves the restaurant. The moment you bottle your sauce, package your coffee or sell your bread in shops, you also need class 30 or class 29 depending on the product. It is the step most Mexican restaurants skip exactly as they start to scale, which is when the brand is worth most.

Who files in Class 43

  • Restaurants and food chains
  • Cafés and coffee shops
  • Hotels and lodging
  • Catering and banqueting
  • Food franchises

Trademarks registered in this class: McDonald's, Marriott, Airbnb

Classes commonly filed alongside Class 43

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.
