TIPO has made adjustments to the designated goods/services names in trademark applications in response to the latest (12th) edition of the " Nice Classification " (2024). A total of 422 items have been added, 56 items deleted. An additional 15 modifications have been made to class/subclass names or annotations, as well as 25 corrections.

The aforementioned changes shall take effect on January 1, 2024. The list of designated goods/services categories and names will be updated on the online trademark filing system as well (for an official timeline of website updates, please refer to the TIPO Information Management Office.)

Applicants wishing to use the fast-track mechanism on the online trademark filing system after January 1, 2024 are advised to download the latest updates. This ensures consistency between the designated goods/services names stated in the application and the content in the electronic filing system, avoiding discrepancies that could jeopardize eligibility for the fast-track mechanism, as well as associated fee reductions.
