Trademark Registration Class 1: Chemicals

Trademark registration helps protect a brand’s identity, intellectual property, and business interests. Trademarks are classified using the Nice Classification (NCL) system, which divides goods and services into 45 classes. Class 1 covers chemicals used in industries, science, agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. Registering a trademark under Class 1 grants exclusive rights to use the mark for these products.
