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.

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.
