Trademark Class 30 for Protecting Your Spices & Food Products Brands

If your business deals in spices, packaged food products, or operates a food-related business, your brand must be registered under Trademark Class 30. This class covers a wide range of food items, including spices, coffee, tea, bakery products, and confectionery used in households, restaurants, and retail settings.

Whether you manufacture organic spices, distribute packaged snacks, or run a food business, securing your brand through trademark registration under Class 30 helps ensure exclusivity and legal protection in the highly competitive food market.

Let’s explore what’s covered under Trademark Class 30, what’s excluded, and how to register your trademark effectively.

Understanding Trademark Classification in India

Trademarks in India are governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999, which allows businesses to legally protect their brand name, product identity, and visual assets across specific categories.

India follows the internationally recognized Nice Classification system, which divides all goods and services into 45 trademark classes—Classes 1 to 34 for goods and Classes 35 to 45 for services.

What Products Can You Trademark Under Class 30?

Trademark Class 30 includes a broad array of food-related products, including spices, coffee, tea, baked goods, and confectionery. These items are commonly sold in supermarkets, used in restaurants, and manufactured for export.

Here’s a detailed list of what can be registered under Class 30

• Spices – Includes powdered and whole spices used for culinary purposes, such as curry powder, turmeric, chili powder, etc.
• Coffee and tea – including ground coffee, whole coffee beans, tea bags, and loose leaf tea.

What Is Not Included in Trademark Class 30?

While Trademark Class 30 covers many food-related items, certain products may belong to different classes depending on their composition or purpose.

Here’s a breakdown of products that are not covered under Class 30:

• Soft drinks, fruit juices, and carbonated drinks fall under Trademark Class for beverages (Class 32), as they are liquid refreshments.
• Alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, whiskey, and liquor are classified under Trademark Class for alcoholic drinks (Class 33).
• Unprocessed agricultural products like fresh fruits, vegetables, and raw grains are not included in Class 30 and are classified under Trademark Class 31 for agricultural products (Class 31).
• Dietary supplements or nutritional powders intended for health or medicinal use are categorized under Trademark Class for pharmaceuticals (Class 5), as they serve a therapeutic or health-supporting purpose.
• Frozen foods like frozen vegetables, meats, or meals are part of Trademark Class for preserved foods (Class 29), not Class 30, even though they are technically processed food.
