Find the right trademark class for your business under the international Nice Classification, as used by the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property. Type your product or service and the tool shows the likely classes with their headings, examples and notes on what each class includes and excludes.
What Is the Nice Classification?
The Nice Classification is an international system administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) that groups goods and services into 45 classes, and Saudi Arabia uses it for trademark registration. Your protection covers only the classes you register, so a wrong or missing class can leave your business unprotected or lead to refusal.
- Classes 1 to 34: goods.
- Classes 35 to 45: services.
- A shop protects its retail activity in Class 35, and the goods themselves in their own classes.
Once you know your classes, estimate the cost with our Saudi trademark fee calculator, or see our trademark registration service in Saudi Arabia.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many trademark classes are there?
The Nice Classification has 45 classes: classes 1 to 34 cover goods and classes 35 to 45 cover services. The edition currently in force is the 13th edition, version 2026, effective 1 January 2026.
Can I register a trademark in more than one class?
Yes, with fees charged per class. SAIP’s current e-filing guide allows one class per application, so additional classes are filed as separate applications.
Which class covers a mobile app?
A downloadable app falls in Class 9, while providing it as an online platform without download, or developing software for others, falls in Class 42. Many tech businesses need both, plus the class of their core activity.
Are restaurants and food products in the same class?
No. Restaurant and café services are in Class 43, while packaged food sold under your brand goes in its own classes, such as 29 for dairy and meat, 30 for coffee, bread and sweets, and 32 for juices and water.
