Class 37 for trademarks: a brief description

Class 37 encompasses services aimed at building, maintaining, and repairing physical structures and equipment. It is a key category for businesses in the construction and maintenance sectors.

This class also covers specialized services like vehicle repair and system installations.

Practical examples of Class 37

Examples include residential construction firms, auto repair garages, and HVAC installation providers.

What Does Class 37 Include?

Class 37 covers an immense number of services related to the construction, repair, maintenance, and cleaning of buildings, machinery, and other objects. This class is indispensable for industries dealing with physical infrastructure, equipment upkeep, and restoration work.

Key Offerings in Class 37

This class includes all types of building construction services: buildings, roads, bridges, dams, transmission lines, and railways. Also included are specialized services connected to building, such as interior and exterior painting and plastering, plumbing, heating equipment installation, and roofing. Also included in this category are shipbuilding and the renting of construction machinery, tools, and equipment, such as bulldozers and cranes.

Repair services are another imperative component of Class 37, including electrical repairs, computer hardware servicing, and instrument or tool repairs. Restoration services include building restoration, furniture restoration, and works of art restoration. These services are employed to restore an item to a previous or usable condition.

Class 37 also covers preservation services, such as the maintenance of goods in their original condition without altering their properties-for example, furniture maintenance, vehicle maintenance, swimming pool maintenance, and computer hardware maintenance. It also includes cleaning of various items, including windows, vehicles, and clothing, and laundering and pressing of clothes. This broad categorization covers industries that sustain, refurbish, and improve tangible assets.

Trademark Class 37 does not include

While Class 37 primarily covers construction, repair, and maintenance services, there are specific activities that are explicitly excluded and fall under other trademark classes. These exclusions involve services that either go beyond physical repair and maintenance or relate to different industries altogether.

For example, Class 37 does not cover the physical storage of goods but it is classified under Class 39, which includes logistics and transport services. Likewise, processes for treating materials that involve a change in the essential properties of the object or substance, such as cutting, dyeing, or fireproofing cloth, metal casting, plating, or treating, and custom tailoring, embroidering, and preservation of food, are classified under Class 40. These activities relate to material treatment and do not involve repair or maintenance.

Additional Exclusions

Services that consist of the installation, maintenance, and updating of computer software, design, and hosting of websites fall under Class 42, pertaining to technology and software solutions. Such services as construction drafting and architectural services fall under Class 42 since these are services relating to the planning and design of a construction, not the actual physical construction itself.

By understanding these exclusions, the businesses can classify their services under the right trademark category and get their rights properly and in order to avoid misclassification upon registration.
