In response to the revision of the 12^th edition of the Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks, TIPO has updated its list of Description of Designated Goods and Services for Trademark Registration. Effective as of January 1, 2023, the changes include 481 additions or amendments and 48 deletions. Additionally, 42 class/subclass names or notes have been added, removed, or amended. The electronic trademark application system’s “Description of Designated Goods and Services for Trademark Registration” section has also been updated to reflect said changes.

Those who wish to utilize the Fast-Track Trademark Examination Program and file through the electronic trademark application system after January 1, 2023, are advised to download the updated list featuring all incorporated changes. Individuals who fill out applications with descriptions of goods and services not found on the system’s current list will not qualify for the Fast-Track Program and will not enjoy the preferential fee reduction.
