How to read the results

  • Wording is verbatim. Each entry is copied from the USPTO Trademark ID Manual. Search its ID number there to see the live entry, its class and any notes.
  • Braces are fill-ins. Replace them with a specific subject. “In the field of comedy sketches” works; “in the field of content” doesn’t.
  • List only what you do. Each entry is a service you have to actually provide under the name. More entries isn’t better.
  • Picking from the ID Manual saves a fee. The USPTO charges $200 per class extra for free-form wording typed instead of chosen from the ID Manual (2025 fee changes).

Questions

What is Class 41 for a YouTube or TikTok channel?
Class 41 covers education and entertainment services. A channel that provides videos, streams or podcasts to an audience usually describes that service in Class 41.
Where does this wording come from?
Every entry is copied word for word from the USPTO’s Trademark ID Manual (Nice edition 13-2026), checked October 12, 2026. Each shows its ID number so you can search it in the ID Manual yourself.
Do I have to fill in the part in braces?
Yes. Braces mark a fill-in, such as the subject of your videos. Replace them with a specific subject, like “comedy sketches”. Vague or blank fill-ins get questioned by the examiner.
Does selling merch or downloads change the class?
Yes. Clothing is in Class 25 and downloadable files are in Class 9. Each extra class has its own $350 USPTO fee. Ask an attorney before adding one.
Does CharacterGuard file this for me?
No. CharacterGuard isn’t a law firm and doesn’t file. Use this wording to start a conversation with an attorney or to check your own draft.
