Running a clinic, hospital, veterinary practice, salon, spa, or wellness center? Class 44 protects the name and identity of your healthcare or beauty brand. SetupFiling.in handles the full trademark search and filing process online, so competitors can't copy your brand name.
Under the Nice Classification system followed by the Indian Trade Marks Registry, Class 44 covers medical services, veterinary services, hygienic and beauty care for human beings or animals, as well as agriculture, horticulture, and forestry services. If your brand name is associated with treatment, care, wellness, or grooming — for people or animals — Class 44 is almost certainly the class you need.
Registering your brand under this class through our complete trademark registration service gives you exclusive rights to use your business name in connection with medical, veterinary, or beauty services across India, and stops competitors from launching a similarly named clinic, salon, or wellness brand.
