We use the International Nice Classification System, which has a total of 45 numbered classes, to organize goods and services classes 1-34 cover goods, and classes 35-45 cover services. For example, class 3 covers cosmetics and cleaning preparations and class 36 covers insurance and financial services. A class is a numbered category that characterizes a type of good or service.
