Trademark Class 24: Textiles, Textile Goods
Class 24 covers textiles and fabrics, household linen, and textile goods such as bed and table covers. Here is what it includes, what it excludes, and how to word it.
What is Trademark Class 24?
Class 24 is a goods class covering textiles and substitutes for textiles, household linen, and curtains of textile or plastic. It includes woven and knitted fabrics, bed and table linen, towels, curtains, and textile piece goods.
The theme is finished fabrics and household textiles. It is distinct from clothing (Class 25), which covers garments made from those textiles. This page is part of our full guide to all 45 trademark classes, and to how protection works across jurisdictions in our overview of trademark law and protection.
Is Class 24 actually your class?
Work out whether your product or service genuinely sits in Class 24 before you file, because a wrong class protects the wrong thing.
Class 24 is likely your class if you make fabrics or household textiles
Fabric and textile manufacturers, makers of household linen such as bedding, towels, and table linen, and curtain and soft-furnishing brands. If your product is a fabric or a household textile, Class 24 is very likely your class. Our trademark class search helps you check which classes fit before you file.
What Class 24 does NOT cover.
The most common Class 24 mistakes come from classifying by the wrong feature. These closely related items sit elsewhere:
Clothing is Class 25
Garments made from textiles are Class 25. Class 24 is the fabric and household textiles.
Yarns are Class 23
Yarns and threads are Class 23; the finished fabric is Class 24.
Examples of properly-worded Class 24 goods and services.
The Registry expects specific, standardised descriptions, not vague terms. Here are examples of clear, acceptable Class 24 wording:
| Instead of (vague) | Use (standardised) |
|---|---|
| “Fabric” | “Textile fabrics” · “Woven fabrics” |
| “Bedding” | “Bed linen” · “Household linen” |
| “Towels” | “Towels of textile” |
Each entry is specific and standardised. These are illustrative examples of acceptable phrasing, not legal advice for your filing; your exact wording should be drawn from the current NICE Classification and tailored to what your business actually does. Wording is a common cause of objections whether you file in India, the United States, Argentina, or elsewhere. For filing across several countries at once, see our global registration guide.
Frequently asked questions
What does trademark Class 24 cover?
Class 24 covers textiles and textile substitutes, household linen, and curtains of textile or plastic. It includes woven and knitted fabrics, bed and table linen, towels, curtains, and textile piece goods. The theme is finished fabrics and household textiles, as distinct from garments, which are classified in Class 25.
Who should register a trademark in Class 24?
Fabric and textile manufacturers, makers of household linen such as bedding, towels, and table linen, and curtain and soft-furnishing brands. If your product is a fabric or a household textile, Class 24 is likely your class. A brand selling both fabrics and finished clothing may need Class 24 and Class 25.
What is the difference between Class 24 and Class 25?
Class 24 covers textiles and fabrics, and household textile goods such as bedding and towels. Class 25 covers clothing, footwear, and headgear, the finished garments made from textiles. So the fabric is Class 24, but a shirt made from that fabric is Class 25. Home-textile and fashion brands often need both.
Is bedding in Class 24?
Yes. Bed linen, household linen, towels, and similar household textiles are classified in Class 24, alongside fabrics. Curtains of textile or plastic also fall in Class 24. The class covers finished household textiles as well as the fabrics themselves.
How should I word my Class 24 goods?
Use specific, standardised terms such as textile fabrics, bed linen, or towels of textile, rather than vague words like fabric or linen. Draw wording from the current NICE Classification and tailor it to your products to reduce objection risk.
