Trademark Class 29: Meat, Fish, and Poultry

Trademark Class 29 includes a variety of food products primarily derived from animals. This classification encompasses meat, fish, poultry, seafood, dairy products, and preserved food items. It’s essential for businesses involved in the food industry that focus on animal-derived food products.

Included Products:

  • Fresh, frozen, and preserved meat and poultry (e.g., chicken, beef, pork)
  • Processed meats (e.g., sausages, ham, bacon)
  • Fish and seafood (e.g., fresh and canned fish, shellfish)
  • Dairy products (e.g., milk, cheese, butter, yogurt)
  • Eggs and egg products
  • Meat extracts and broths
  • Prepared meals containing meat, fish, or dairy
  • Plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy (if prominently marketed as such)

Details and Considerations:

  • Class 29 is specifically focused on animal products; plant-based foods more generally can fall under other classes unless they are clear substitutes.
  • This class does not cover processed foods, snacks, or other non-animal based products, which may belong to different classifications.
  • When registering a trademark in this class, it is important to be specific about the type of products intended for protection.
