Medical Equipment & Devices Trademark Registration | Nice Class 10

If your business manufactures or distributes healthcare equipment, surgical tools, or diagnostic devices, selecting the accurate Nice Classification class is vital for legal protection.

Manufacturing and selling medical apparatus falls under Nice Class 10.

What Does Class 10 Cover?

Medical diagnostic apparatus and devices (blood pressure monitors, ultrasound and ECG equipment);

Dental equipment and instruments;

Surgical tools and specialized clinical apparatus;

Prosthetics, implants, and orthopedic articles;

Wheelchairs and mobility aids for medical purposes;

Hearing aids, corrective eyewear, and contact lenses.

Crucial Distinction: Class 10 vs. Class 5

A common industry mistake is confusing Class 10 with Class 5:

Class 5: Dedicated to pharmaceuticals, medicines, and dietary supplements;

Class 10: Dedicated strictly to medical apparatus, instruments, and hardware.

Filing under the wrong class leaves your actual operational category unprotected, allowing competitors to legally register your name in the medical devices field.
