Trademark Application Class 26 Pins and Needles; Artificial Flowers; Hair Decorations.

In this blog we aim to provide a detailed overview of Class 26 in the Trademark Classification process. Choosing the right trademark class is important for successful trademark use. Sometimes the application falls into more than one category, providing better protection. That’s why choosing the right class is so important—it reinforces the effectiveness of the entire application process.

Trademark Class 26 Overview

Class 26 Overview: Class 26 includes a broad range of accessories and small decorative items. These are generally used for personal adornment or to enhance the look of other objects and products.

Included in Class 26:

  • Apparel Accessories: This encompasses lace, braid, and embroidery alongside essentials like ribbons, bows, buttons, hooks, eyes, pins, needles, and zippers.
  • Hair Accessories and Solutions: Products such as wigs, toupees, false beards, barrettes, and hair bands. It also covers hair decorations like artificial flowers and hair nets.
  • Decorative Items: Includes non-paper gift bows, charms (excluding those used in jewelry or as part of key chains), and artificial garlands and wreaths, some of which may include lights.
  • Specialized Items: Certain tools and accessories specific to hair styling and maintenance, like electric and non-electric hair curlers, excluding simpler tools like hair curling pins and papers.

Additional Clarifications: Class 26 also addresses items that might typically belong to other classes but share a common use or purpose with those in Class 26. For example:

  • Specialty Needles and Tools: This includes unique types such as tattoo needles, medical needles, and tools for hair curling like curling tongs and eyelash curlers.
  • Festive and Craft Supplies: Synthetic Christmas trees and specific types of ribbons and bows used for crafts or rhythmic gymnastics.
  • Textile Crafts: Threads and yarns for textile purposes are also cataloged here, highlighting the class’s broad applicability to various textile-related crafts and activities.

This classification helps in identifying and registering products under the appropriate categories, ensuring legal protection and clarity in the marketplace. Whether you’re a creator, a legal advisor, or a business owner, understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper trademark registration.
