Trademark Class 2 covers a wide range of paints, varnishes, lacquers, and related products used for coating, protecting, or decorating surfaces. The key is that these products are used to modify the appearance or properties of a surface. ipRights.in offers online trademark registration services to help businesses protect their brands in this category.

What’s Included in Class 2:

This class includes, but isn’t limited to:

• Paints: Products used to color or protect surfaces, including water-based paints, oil-based paints, emulsion paints, and specialized paints for various applications (e.g., automotive paints, marine paints).
• Varnishes: Transparent or translucent coatings applied to protect and enhance the appearance of surfaces, often providing a glossy finish.
• Lacquers: Fast-drying coatings that create a hard, protective film on surfaces.
• Paints and varnishes in aerosol form: Paints and varnishes packaged and dispensed using aerosol technology.
• Primers: Coatings applied before the final paint layer to improve adhesion and enhance the final finish.
• Putties: Materials used to fill gaps and imperfections in surfaces before painting or varnishing.
• Stains: Colorants used to change the appearance of wood or other porous materials without obscuring the wood grain.
• Wood preservatives: Substances used to protect wood from decay or insect infestation (if sold in conjunction with paints, varnishes, etc.)
• Painters’ supplies (excluding brushes): This can include things like thinners, solvents, and other ancillary products used with paints.
