Nice Classification Overview

The Nice Classification is an international system for classifying goods and services for trademark registration. It comprises 45 classes — classes 1–34 cover goods and classes 35–45 cover services.

Use Cases

• Training text classifiers to predict Nice class from product/service descriptions
• Building search and recommendation systems for trademark registration
• Semantic analysis of goods and services terminology
• Augmenting NLP pipelines with structured IP classification data

Limitations

• The dataset is a snapshot from a specific point in time and may not reflect the latest TMclass updates
• Only English-language terms are included
• Some approval_type values are empty, indicating unspecified status
