What Class 7 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.
- Hand tools and implements, hand-operatedGoes in Class 8
- Motors and engines for land vehiclesGoes in Class 12
- Automated teller machinesGoes in Class 9
- Refrigerating apparatus and machinesGoes in Class 11
- Toy robotsGoes in Class 28

The most expensive mistake in Class 7
The line between class 7 and class 8 is the motor: the tool that runs on power is class 7 and the one driven by hand is class 8, even when the same manufacturer sells both under the same brand. And the engine inside a car or a motorcycle is not class 7 but class 12. A tool catalogue almost always needs both classes.
