Trademark Class 24: Textiles & Home Furnishing
Class 24 covers textiles and substitutes for textiles, household linen, curtains, bed and table covers. Finished garments are Class 25 — the difference is fabric versus wearable apparel.
What Class 24 covers
India follows the NICE Classification (11th edition) — 45 classes in total, 34 for goods and 11 for services. Class 24 sits in the goods group. Your trademark is only protected for the goods or services listed in the class you file, which is why picking Class 24 correctly matters more than the logo itself.
- Woven, knitted and non-woven fabrics
- Bedsheets, quilts, blankets and pillow covers
- Curtains, drapes and upholstery fabric
- Towels and table linen
- Fabrics for furniture and interior use
- Textile substitutes of plastic or paper
