Dear Colleagues,
A brief note to flag an update under Nice Classification (NCL 13–2026).
Glasses and related eyewear products have been reclassified from Class 9 to Class 10. This change may be relevant for new filings, pending applications, and existing registrations involving eyewear.
In China, trademark protection depends on both class and official sub-classes, making this reclassification particularly relevant.
Please feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss potential implications or practical considerations.
Kind regards,
Chofn IP Team
