Common caution

Electric kitchen appliances usually belong in Class 11, and knives can belong in Class 8.
How to decide if Class 21 belongs in your filing

- List what customers buy today.
- List near-term goods or services planned for launch.
- Separate products from services.
- Check related classes for retail, SaaS, education, or hospitality activity.
- Use precise wording instead of a vague industry label.
