Trademark Class 6 of Nice Classification - the complete guide

What is Trademark Class 6?

Trademark Class 6 covers common metals and their alloys, as well as goods made of metal. This class includes building materials, small hardware, and industrial metal products.

Examples include iron and steel suppliers, manufacturers of metal roofing, and producers of nails and screws. Class 6 ensures proper trademark classification for metallic goods.

What are key features of Class 6?

Key features include durable, metallic products used for construction, manufacturing, and industrial purposes.

Class 6 for trademarks: a brief description

Class 6 encompasses a wide range of metal products, from raw materials to finished goods used in construction, manufacturing, and installations. Businesses in this class serve industrial, commercial, and residential markets.

Products in this class are vital for structural and mechanical purposes.

Practical examples of Class 6

Examples include producers of steel beams, metal door manufacturers, and suppliers of industrial pipes.

What Does Class 6 Include?

Class 6 mainly consists of common metals and alloys, metal building materials, hardware items, and other metal articles employed in manufacture, construction, and household life. Portable metal structures and some metal-manufactured dispensing machines are also covered by this class.

Principal Class 6 Products

This section consists of metals in foil or powder form to further process, e.g., for metal coating, 3D printing, and industrial use. It also contains metal construction materials, e.g., railway track material, metal pipes and tubes, which find widespread use in infrastructure and engineering projects.

Also included in Class 6 are small metal hardware items like screws, bolts, nails, furniture casters, and window fasteners, all of which serve important mechanical and structural functions. Portable metal buildings and structures, such as prefabricated homes, swimming pools, cages for wild animals, and ice skating rinks, fall in this class as well since they are all constructed mainly of metal components.

Additionally, this class encompasses numerous metal dispensing machines, either manual or automatic. Examples of these are towel dispensers, queue number dispensers, dog waste bag dispensers, and toilet roll dispensers. Class 6 also includes metal products not defined by a particular function or purpose, like general-purpose metal boxes, statues, busts, and metal artwork. Covering a broad spectrum of metal-based products and materials, Class 6 facilitates accurate classification of construction, industrial, and ornamental metal products.

Trademark Class 6 does not include

Whereas Class 6 is made up essentially of general hardware, metals, and building materials, some metal products and materials are specially reserved and classified in other trademark classes. Such exceptions would typically include metals for use in chemical or artistic applications, special dispensing devices, non-metal pipes, and household goods that are classified according to their particular purpose.

As an alternative example, metals and ores that are used industrially or for scientific purposes for chemical properties are not covered under Class 6. Bauxite, mercury, antimony, and alkaline or alkaline-earth metals are Class 1 because they are used in chemical processing. Foil and powder forms of metal used for painting, decorating, printing, and art are Class 2 since they are being creatively utilized, not structurally.

Other Exclusions

Some dispensing devices are also excluded from Class 6 when they are classified by function instead of material. For instance, fluid dispensing devices used in industry are in Class 7, electronic ticket dispensers are in Class 9, dosage dispensers used medically are in Class 10, and adhesive tape dispensers are in Class 16, since they are classified according to what they are intended to be used for and not what they are made of.

The other exclusions include electric cables, which are in Class 9, and non-electric cables and ropes of non-metallic materials, which are in Class 22. Other exclusions based on their function and material are pipes for sanitary installations in Class 11, flexible pipes, tubes, and hoses of non-metallic materials in Class 17, and rigid pipes not of metal in Class 19. Household or domestic items like pet cages (Class 21) and other metal articles categorized by their function, like hand tools (Class 8), paper clips (Class 16), furniture (Class 20), kitchen utensils (Class 21), and household containers (Class 21), are also excluded from Class 6. These exclusions enable proper classification of products for trademark registration and legal protection to be effective.
