Textile trademarks in India are filed across several classes. Class 24 covers woven and knitted fabrics, bed linen, table linen, and household textile materials. Class 23 covers yarns and threads for textile use. Class 25 covers finished clothing made from textiles. Class 26 covers lace, ribbons, embroidery, and textile trimmings. India is one of the world's largest textile producers and exporters, with a deep tradition in cotton, silk, jute, and synthetic fabrics — making trademark registration critical for mills, weavers, and fabric brands targeting both domestic and international markets.
Textile trademarks in India are filed under Class 24 for fabrics and household textile goods (bed sheets, curtains, table cloths), Class 23 for yarns and threads, Class 25 for finished clothing and garments, and Class 26 for textile trimmings like lace, ribbons, and embroidery.
What is the difference between Class 24 and Class 25 for textile brands?
Class 24 covers raw and processed fabrics — cotton cloth, silk fabric, synthetic material, bed linen, and furnishing textiles. Class 25 covers finished clothing and garments made from those fabrics. A textile mill supplying fabric should file under Class 24; a clothing brand using the fabric should file under Class 25.
What trademark class is a saree or ethnic fabric brand in India?
Traditional Indian fabrics — Banarasi silk, Kanjeevaram sarees, Ikat, Khadi — are trademarked under Class 24 for the fabric itself. If the brand also sells stitched garments or ready-to-wear ethnic wear, Class 25 is additionally required. Geographical Indications (GI tags) are a separate form of protection for traditional textiles.
Can a yarn or thread manufacturer trademark their brand in India?
Yes. Yarn brands, thread manufacturers, and spinning mills trademark their brands under Class 23 in India, which covers yarns and threads of all types — cotton yarn, polyester thread, embroidery thread, and technical fibre. Many Indian textile spinning companies have registered trademarks under Class 23.
