Class 7 covers machines, machine tools, motors, engines and agricultural implements — the exact category most manufacturers and equipment makers need before their brand name appears on another supplier's product.

Class 7 under the NICE Classification covers machines and machine tools, motors and engines (except for land vehicles), machine coupling and transmission components, agricultural implements other than hand-operated ones, incubators for eggs, and automatic vending machines. If your business manufactures, assembles or sells industrial or agricultural machinery, engines, or automated equipment, Class 7 is almost certainly the class your brand name needs to be registered under.
Filing under one class costs ₹1,999 professional fee + ₹4,500 government fee, and your application is prepared and filed within 24-48 hours of receiving your details. The process is identical to trademark filing under any other class — what differs is only the description of goods, which needs to accurately reflect your specific machinery or equipment category.
Class 7 is easy to confuse with neighbouring classes: hand-operated tools fall under Class 8, land vehicles and their parts fall under Class 12, and computer hardware or software falls under Class 9. Getting this boundary right matters, since an incorrectly classified application is a common cause of objections. See our complete guide to trademark types and classification if your product range crosses more than one category.

Industrial buyers choose equipment brands on reliability and after-sales trust — both of which are worthless if a competitor can legally use your name on a similar machine.
A registered mark gives you legal grounds to act against sellers of unauthorised machines or spare parts under your brand name.
Authorised dealers and service centres can be verified against a registered mark, keeping unauthorised resellers out of your network.
Machinery exporters often need proof of trademark ownership for customs, certification and international buyer agreements.
A registered ® mark on machinery, catalogues and manuals signals an established, accountable manufacturer.
Banks and leasing companies often check brand legitimacy before approving machinery loans tied to a specific make.
A registered trademark can be licensed to regional manufacturing partners or valued separately in a business sale.
If your product has moving parts, runs on a motor, or automates a task, Class 7 likely applies to you.
Lathes, milling machines and industrial fabrication equipment makers.
Industrial motors, generators and engine component makers.
Tractors' attachments, threshers, pumps and farm machinery makers.
Automatic vending machine and industrial automation equipment companies.

Filing is just the start. Here's the typical journey your application takes at the Trade Marks Registry.
Your application is filed online and you receive an application number for tracking.
The Registrar checks for conflicts with existing machinery and equipment marks and issues an examination report.
The mark is published in the Trade Marks Journal for public viewing, opening a 4-month opposition window.
Third parties may oppose the mark. If no opposition is filed, the application proceeds to registration.
Once cleared, the Registry issues the registration certificate and the ® symbol can be legally used on your machinery and branding.
Class 7 sits close to several other classes — knowing the boundary avoids filing under the wrong one.
| Included in Class 7 | Filed Under a Different Class | Correct Class |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial machines & machine tools | Hand-operated tools (hammers, wrenches) | Class 8 |
| Motors & engines (non-land-vehicle) | Land vehicles and their engines/parts | Class 12 |
| Agricultural implements (non-hand-operated) | Computer hardware, software & apps | Class 9 |
| Automatic vending machines | Retail/vending services (not the machine itself) | Class 35 |
| Egg incubators & machine transmission parts | Scientific/measuring instruments | Class 9 |
If your product range spans machinery and, say, hand tools or vehicle parts, you may need more than one class — see our guide to trademark types and classification for a fuller breakdown.
Class 7's boundary with Classes 8, 9, 12 and 35 is one of the most commonly misjudged in self-filed applications, leading to avoidable objections.
Everything a machinery or equipment business needs to build and protect its legal foundation, in one place.
Class 7 covers machines and machine tools, motors and engines other than for land vehicles, machine coupling and transmission components, non-hand-operated agricultural implements, egg incubators, and automatic vending machines.
The total cost is ₹1,999 as the professional filing fee plus ₹4,500 as the government fee for one class, making the effective cost ₹6,499 for a startup or individual applicant.
Motors and engines are covered under Class 7, except when they are specifically designed for land vehicles, which fall under Class 12. A standalone industrial or agricultural engine is typically Class 7.
No, hand-operated tools are covered under Class 8. Class 7 is limited to machines, machine tools and non-hand-operated equipment.
If the spare parts are specific to machines covered under Class 7, they typically fall under the same class. If your range also includes hand tools or vehicle parts, a multi-class application may be needed.
Your application is prepared and filed within 24-48 hours of receiving your documents. The Registry's examination and approval process typically takes several months after filing.
Yes, non-hand-operated agricultural implements such as threshers, pumps and powered farm equipment fall squarely under Class 7.
You need the applicant's name, father's name and address, company name (if any), MSME certificate (if any), logo in JPEG format (if any), list of machines or equipment, trademark class, and a valid email and mobile number.
Yes, automatic vending machines themselves are specifically listed under Class 7. If you also offer a vending-based retail service, that service may separately need Class 35.
If the Registry raises an objection, often due to class or description mismatches, a formal reply must be filed within the given timeline. Support for drafting and filing objection replies is available separately.
