We titled the article Trademark Classification in the Dominican Republic, explicitly to establish that the Classification of Marks is not based on countries, it is based on international classification. Registrations are made based on the “Nice Classification”, which is an international agreement.
Currently, 83 States are party to the Nice Agreement. This classification is also used by the trademark offices of more than 65 countries, which are not currently party to the Nice Agreement, four organizations and the WIPO International Office, established in the Lisbon Agreement concerning the Protection of Origin Designations and their International Registration.
It is common practice for many individuals and legal entities to register their brands in different countries, in order to maintain their protection. One of the basis of brands is territoriality, i.e., it is only protected in the country where it is registered.
The Nice Classification is nothing more than a classification of products and services under an international numbering system.
Brand: Any sign or combination of signs susceptible to graphic representation, facilitating the distinction of products or services from one company to products and services from a different company.
