WIPO’s free webinar on “Understanding the International Classification of Goods and Services” takes place at 4.00pm Geneva time tomorrow (Wednesday 28 August).

WIPO states:

This will give you the opportunity to learn more about the international system used to classify goods and services for the purposes of the international registration of marks: The Nice Classification.

When filing an international application, you must indicate the goods and services to protect in the designated contracting parties. It is important that the goods and services listed in the application are clear, concise and classified according to the latest edition of the Nice Classification. A well-prepared list means you will be less likely to receive an irregularity notice from WIPO and helps register your mark as quickly as possible.

In this webinar, we will introduce the basics of the classification of goods and services and will touch on some information about WIPO classification practice.

You will be able to ask us all your questions during the live Q&A session after the presentation.

The webinar is for beginners and new users of the Madrid System. If you cannot attend the webinar but would like to view the video recording, you can do so by registering.
