Nice Classification Update: Eyewear Reclassified to Class 10

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
