Footwear in India is trademarked under Class 25, the same class as clothing and headgear. Class 25 covers shoes, sandals, sneakers, boots, slippers and all types of footwear. If you also run footwear retail stores or an online shoe store, Class 35 protects the retail business. Footwear brands targeting the large Indian market typically file both Class 25 (products) and Class 35 (retail).
Footwear is filed under Class 25 in India, which also covers clothing and headgear. This includes shoes, sandals, sneakers, boots and slippers of all materials.
Is footwear a different class from clothing?
No — footwear and clothing are both in Class 25. A brand selling both garments and shoes is covered by a single Class 25 registration for the products, though it should still consider Class 35 for retail.
Do I need Class 35 for a shoe store?
Yes, if you operate retail or online stores selling footwear, Class 35 protects that retail/e-commerce service. The shoes themselves remain protected under Class 25.
Can a footwear brand name and logo be trademarked in India?
Yes. Both the brand name and logo for footwear can be registered under Class 25 in India, provided the mark is distinctive. Registration gives exclusive rights to use the mark on footwear across India for 10 years.
