Trademark Class 32: Non-Alcoholic Beverages & Syrups

When filing a trademark, selecting the correct class is one of the most crucial steps. Trademark Class 32 applies to a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages and drink preparations, including syrups, mineral waters, fruit juices, and soft drinks. If your business is in the beverage industry, this class might be perfect for your brand.

What Products are Covered Under Class 32?

This trademark class includes beverages that are non-alcoholic in nature. Here’s a breakdown of the types of goods that fall under Class 32:

• Beers (lager, ale, non-alcoholic beer, etc.)

• Mineral and aerated waters

• Soft drinks

• Fruit juices and nectars

• Syrups and concentrates for making beverages

• Energy drinks and isotonic beverages

• Other non-alcoholic drink preparations (e.g., powders, effervescent tablets)

Whether you’re producing fruit-based sodas, health-focused hydration drinks, or beverage syrups, your product line is likely to fall into Class 32.

Why is Trademark Class 32 Important?

Registering under the correct trademark class ensures that your brand is legally protected in the industry where it operates. If your brand produces juice or drink syrups, Class 32 ensures exclusive rights within the beverage category.

Sometimes, businesses may also operate in multiple trademark classes. For instance:

• If you make non-alcoholic drinks (Class 32) and bottled sauces (Class 30), you’ll need to file in both.

• If you also sell branded glassware or bottles, you might consider Class 21.

A strategic trademark filing ensures that your brand is shielded from imitation or misuse.

What is Not Included in Class 32?

Trademark Class 32 does not cover alcoholic drinks like whiskey, vodka, or wine. Those are covered under Class 33.

Additionally, Class 32 excludes:

• Medical drinks or supplements (covered under Class 5)

• Milk-based beverages (generally under Class 29)

• Coffee and tea (Class 30)

Understanding what’s not included helps you avoid filing errors and ensures the right level of protection for your products.

Examples of Class 32 Trademarks

Here are examples of real-world businesses that file under Class 32:

• Juice brands offering bottled fruit and vegetable juices

• Startups selling functional drinks like probiotic soda

• Craft soda makers and natural tonic producers

• Brands making hydration powders or energy drink syrups

These businesses benefit from brand exclusivity in a highly competitive and saturated market.

Tips for Filing in Class 32

Before filing your trademark under Class 32, keep the following tips in mind:

• Be specific when describing your goods. Mention the exact type of beverage or syrup.

• Conduct a trademark search to check for similar brand names.

• Consider future expansion—if you’re planning to launch snack foods or alcoholic drinks later, file in additional relevant classes.

• Consult a professional to structure your trademark application properly.

Trademark Class 32 is designed to protect businesses in the ever-growing non-alcoholic beverage industry. From juices and energy drinks to syrups and mineral waters, this class provides a vital legal framework for protecting your brand identity.

Filing under the right class is the first step toward long-term brand value and legal security. Make sure you do it correctly—and when in doubt, seek expert advice.
