Trademarks are an efficient communication mechanism. In a brand or logo, trademarks carry intellectual and emotional characteristics and information about you, your company, and your company’s products, reputation, and services. The regime relating to the trademark registration process in India has gone under some significant changes recently, which have all been taken to enhance India’s Intellectual Property Regime. Trademarks should be executed or registered under the classes, and every class defines a specific class of goods or services. If we regard various goods and services, there are a total of 45 classes out of which 34 classes are for products and 11 are for services category.
Trademark Class 11 description states that it involves appliances for lighting, refrigerating, steam generating, heating, cooling, water supply, drying, ventilating, and sanitary purposes. Also, Class 11 covers air conditioning apparatus, hot water bottles, bed warmers, heated cushions and blankets, and electric cooking utensils.

It takes plenty of hard work and resources to create a brand. Hence, It is important to ensure that you have exclusive ownership to use the logo, shape, slogan, and packaging of goods, smell, sound, color combinations, or anything else that provides your brand a unique identity by brand registration. Trademarks should be registered under the classes and each class distinguishes a particular class of goods or services. It plays an essential role in promoting goods and provides knowledge about the quality of the product. It allows an enterprise to acquire special rights to utilize, distribute, or assign a mark. A Trademark preserves your brand and gives you the tools to stop someone from riding on the back of your business. Trademark is proficient in differentiating the goods or services of an individual from those of others and includes their packaging, the shape of goods, and a combination of colors.
Before applying for your trademark registration, you’ll have to take a peek at the trademark database and perform a trademark search.
