Common caution

Selling clothing online can also require Class 35 for retail services, depending on your filing strategy.
How to decide if Class 25 belongs in your filing

Practical checklist
- 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.
