Help with the classification tool
The classification tool is easy to use. However, it’s worth looking at the options and how the online service works so that you can make the most of it and quickly achieve your goal.
You can find links to the help pages below and directly in the classification tool.
Legal notice
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).
