Does the United States use the "Nice Classification" system?

Follow

In the United States, while the Nice Classification System is employed for categorizing trademarks based on class numbers, the U.S. adopts its unique system for specifying goods and services within each class. This American approach requires a more detailed description of the items. Unlike the broader categories of the Nice Classification, the U.S. system necessitates breaking down general terms into specific items. For instance, a generic term like "clothing" must be specified into distinct categories such as "shirts, pants, skirts, etc." When conducting a Comprehensive Study in the U.S., our attorney will guide you in selecting the most appropriate and detailed description for your goods or services, ensuring it aligns with the requirements for trademark registration requests in the U.S.
