Trademark Class 27: Carpets, Rugs, and Mats

When applying for a trademark, selecting the correct class is critical. It ensures legal protection, helps avoid disputes, and enhances brand credibility. Trademark Class 27 specifically relates to floor coverings, making it essential for businesses in interior design, home decor, or textile manufacturing.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s included under this class.

What Falls Under Trademark Class 27?

Class 27 includes:

• Carpets

• Rugs

• Door mats

• Bath mats

• Floor linoleum

• Wall and ceiling coverings (non-textile)

• Artificial turf and vinyl flooring

If your products are used to cover or decorate floors and walls, they may fall into this class. These items serve both functional and aesthetic purposes and are often used in homes, commercial spaces, or sports facilities.

Examples of Items in Class 27

Here are a few examples of trademarkable products under Class 27:

• A brand that sells handmade Persian rugs

• A company offering designer bathroom mats

• Manufacturers of synthetic turf for sports arenas

• Providers of 3D vinyl wall stickers and panels

• Eco-friendly jute carpets or bamboo floor mats

As you can see, this class accommodates both traditional and modern designs.

What Is NOT Covered in Class 27?

It’s important to avoid misclassification. The following are not included under Class 27:

• Textile wall hangings (Class 24)

• Flooring installation services (Class 37)

• Art made from paper or cardboard (usually Class 16)

• Retail of carpets (Class 35 if it involves retail or wholesale services)

Always review related classes to ensure comprehensive protection. If your business deals in both products and services, you may need to file in multiple classes.

Why Trademark Class 27 Matters

Filing your trademark in the correct class:

• Secures your brand identity in a competitive market

• Prevents others from using similar marks in the same industry

• Helps expand your business with a solid legal foundation

• Improves investor and customer confidence

In sectors like home decor or interior furnishing, visual identity and brand uniqueness are key differentiators.

Tips for Filing Under Class 27

To strengthen your application:

• Be clear and specific in describing your product (e.g., “anti-slip rubber bath mats” vs. just “mats”)

• Check for existing trademarks in the class to avoid objections

• Consult a trademark expert if your products blend into other categories

A well-prepared application leads to faster approval and better protection.

Trademark Class 27 covers a unique set of products that enhance both the look and function of floors and walls. Whether you’re selling luxurious carpets or eco-friendly floor mats, filing under the correct class ensures your brand stands out and stays protected.
