Q: I want to sell handmade goods such as jewelry, clothes, art, etc. under my brand. What class do I choose to trademark?
All of my goods would be handmade by me but the goods vary from handmade clothing, paintings, and jewelry. I am curious if there is a class that covers these as a whole? I would like to pay as less as possible because I understand each class is $350. I would be selling all of these handmade products under my brand on a website.
A:
Jewelry is in International Class 014, apparel is in IC 025, and art/paintings is in IC 016. If the application is filed using TEAS Plus, the filing fee is $250 per class. TEAS Plus applications have a lower fee but more requirements than TEAS Standard, explained here:
