Thirteenth edition of Nice Classification

WIPO has announced that the 13th edition of the Nice Classification will take effect on 1 January 2026.

New editions of the Nice Classification are published every three years, with annual updates to each edition.

In the new edition, certain goods and services have been reclassified. You can review the changes on WIPO’s website here.

The new edition will apply to all new applications received by offices of origin from 1 January 2026 and any application that WIPO receives from 1 January 2026 after the two-month time limit referred to in Article 3(4) of the Madrid Protocol.

Existing trade mark applications do not need to be reclassified.

The goods and services manager in eMadrid will be updated on 1 January 2026.

For more information, read the announcement on WIPO’s website here.
