Packaged food or beverage products are goods and often require Classes 29, 30, 32, or 33.

- 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.
