The IPI’s classification tool is a free tool for creating, editing and verifying lists of goods and services (LGS). This does not constitute legal advice. Responsibility for the wording of the LGS lies exclusively with the applicant, even if they use the classification tool. 

The use of the classification tool has no prejudicial effect. It does not guarantee a faithful translation or that there will be no objections to the list by the IPI or, in the case of applications for international registration, by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

Liability claims against the IPI for damage of a material or immaterial nature arising from access to or use or non-use of the published information, or from misuse of the connection or from technical faults, are excluded to the extent permitted by law.
