What’s Included in Class 17:

This class includes, but is not limited to:

• Rubber Products: Items made from natural or synthetic rubber, such as tires, hoses, belts, and seals.
• Gutta-Percha Products: Items made from gutta-percha, a natural resin.
• Gum Products: Items made from various gums, such as chewing gum (though often in Class 30).
• Asbestos Products: (Note: The use of asbestos is heavily regulated in many countries. Check your local regulations before applying for a trademark in this area.) Historically included asbestos-based insulation and other products, but is largely obsolete due to health concerns.
• Mica Products: Items made from mica, a mineral used for insulation and other applications.
• Plastics in Extruded Form: Plastics shaped into various forms using extrusion processes (e.g., pipes, tubes, profiles).
• Packing, Stopping, and Insulation Materials: Materials used for packing, sealing, or insulating purposes, such as rubber gaskets, foam padding, and insulation materials.
• Flexible Pipes (Not of Metal): Pipes and tubing made of rubber, plastic, or other flexible materials.

Examples of Products in Class 17:

• Rubber tires
• Rubber hoses
• Rubber seals
• Plastic pipes
• Plastic sheeting
• Insulation materials (foam, rubber, etc.)
• Gaskets
• Packing materials

What’s NOT Included in Class 17:

• Products primarily made of other materials: For example, metal pipes would fall under Class 6.
• Finished goods that incorporate these materials: A product primarily made of wood, but using rubber seals, would primarily be categorized by its principal material.
