Not every business sells a product or a typical commercial service, and the Trademark Registry has a specific class for that. Trademark Class 45 covers legal services, security services, and personal or social services provided by one person or organisation to meet the individual needs of another. If you run a law firm, security agency, matrimonial platform, or personal concierge-style service, this is very likely the class your brand needs.

We have helped 50,000+ entrepreneurs and businesses across India, including legal practices, security firms, and personal service platforms, file Class 45 trademark applications correctly the first time.

Trademark Class 45 registration in India

This guide explains exactly what Class 45 covers, how it compares to related service classes, the registration process, what documents are needed, and how to place your order with Setupfiling.in.

What Is Trademark Class 45?

Trademark Class 45 is one of the 45 classes under the NICE Classification system used by the Indian Trademark Registry. It covers legal services; security services for the physical protection of tangible property and individuals; and personal and social services rendered by others to meet the individual needs of a person, such as licensing of intellectual property, alternative dispute resolution, dating and matrimonial services, funeral services, and online social networking services.

Class 45 vs Related Service Trademark Classes

Service-based businesses often need to check neighbouring classes carefully, since Class 45 sits close to several other service categories that are easy to confuse it with.

Trademark ClassWhat It CoversTypical Example
Class 45Legal services, security services, and personal or social servicesA law firm, security agency, or matrimonial platform brand
Class 42Scientific and technological services, software development, and IT servicesA software company or SaaS platform brand, including legal-tech products
Class 35Advertising, business management, and administrative servicesA recruitment agency, business consultancy, or advertising firm brand
Class 41Education, training, and entertainment servicesA coaching institute or entertainment event brand
Class 36Insurance, financial, and real estate servicesAn insurance brokerage or real estate agency brand

A legal-tech company offering both a software platform and traditional legal advisory services under one name, for example, may need registration under both Class 42 for the software and Class 45 for the legal services to fully protect the brand.

Trademark Class 45 Registration Process: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Trademark Availability Search

    A search is conducted under Class 45 to check whether an identical or deceptively similar legal, security, or personal service brand name is already registered or pending.

  2. 2

    Application Filing (Form TM-A)

    The trademark application is filed with the Trademark Registry under Class 45, specifying the exact legal, security, or personal services covered by the brand.

  3. 3

    Examination by the Registrar

    A Trademark Examiner reviews the application for distinctiveness and similarity to existing marks, and may raise an objection if issues are found.

  4. 4

    Publication in the Trademark Journal

    Once accepted, the mark is published in the Trademark Journal for four months, during which any third party can file an opposition.

  5. 5

    Registration Certificate Issued

    If no opposition is filed, or any opposition is successfully resolved, the Registry issues the trademark registration certificate.
