Trademark Class 24 of Nice Classification - the complete guide

What is Trademark Class 24?

Trademark Class 24 covers textiles and textile goods not included in other classes. This includes fabrics, bedding, and textile-based decorative items for household and commercial use.

Examples include cotton fabrics, bedsheets, and curtains. Businesses in this class cater to interior designers, manufacturers, and retailers of textile products.

Class 24 ensures proper trademark classification for textile goods.

What are key features of Class 24?

Key features include fabrics for various uses, decorative textiles, and household textile products.

Class 24 for trademarks: a brief description

Class 24 includes a wide range of textile products used in homes, commercial spaces, and industries. This class is essential for businesses producing fabrics and textile-based items for functional or decorative purposes.

Products in this class are versatile and cater to diverse consumer needs.

Practical examples of Class 24

Examples include manufacturers of silk fabrics, producers of luxury bedding, and companies creating decorative curtains.

What Does Class 24 Include?

Class 24 would basically include all textile fabrics and household linens, whether for bedding, decoration, or other useful purposes. This class will also broadly cover several types of raw and finished textile materials for use domestically and personally.

Main Products under Class 24

It also includes within this category items like bedspreads, pillow shams, and textile towels, which are in daily use in homes, hotels, and other places. These textile products are meant for comfort and aesthetics while serving practical needs.

Besides, Class 24 includes bed linen made of paper, offering alternatives to beddings conventionally made with fabrics. The paper-based bedding is most of the time utilized in disposable or hygienic situations such as medical institutions, travels, etc.

Other prominent inclusions within this class include sleeping bags and sleeping bag liners for warmth or protection while one is sleeping or in transit. Mosquito nets also fall within Class 24, as in their application they become textile protective coverings created to protect individuals from insect bites and ensure more comfortable sleep. Class 24 encompasses a wide range of textile goods, from those products that are necessary in the bedding and hospitality industries to those required for home furnishing.

Trademark Class 24 does not include

While Class 24 is basically filled with textiles and household linens, many products that could seem to belong to this category are, however, excluded due to being more specifically classified elsewhere. These would normally be for special uses, electrical, or made of materials other than textile.

For instance, electrically heated blankets are not classified under Class 24. If they are for medical purposes, they fall under Class 10, and if for non-medical purposes, they fall under Class 11. Likewise, the paper table linen goes under Class 16, because this is a disposable paper product, not a textile product.

Exclusions

Class 24 also excludes certain types of curtains and fabrics. Safety curtains  of asbestos are classified under Class 17 because of their insulating properties. Bamboo curtains, which are used as interior decoration, and bead curtains are classified under Class 20, as they are furniture-connected decorative items and not goods made of conventional textile items.

Other sundry special fabrics are classified according to their respective uses. For example, bookbinding fabrics are in Class 16, insulating fabrics are in Class 17, and geotextiles used in construction and landscaping fall within Class 19. Horse blankets do not fall into Class 24 either but into Class 18, as they are made for an animal. This set of exclusions ensures that textile and fabric-related products are under the correct class of trademark during registration for appropriate classification and protection.
