How to Trademark a Furniture Brand

Which trademark class covers a furniture brand?

A furniture brand is registered in Class 20, the USPTO class for furniture and furnishings. Class 20 covers tables, chairs, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelving, mirrors, and non-metal home and office furniture.

If you also sell furniture through your own showroom or online store, you may add Class 35 for retail services. Textile goods such as cushion covers or throws can fall in Class 24. Filing the classes that reflect your real product line and sales channels is what converts a trademark registration into enforceable brand protection and intellectual property.

How much does it cost to trademark a furniture brand?

Trademarking a furniture brand costs from $99 in Secure Mark USA service fees plus the $350-per-class USPTO government fee. A single Class 20 filing is the standard starting point for a furniture maker.

A brand that sells through its own retail channel might file Class 20 for the furniture and Class 35 for retail services, with the $350 USPTO fee applying to each class ($700 total). The service fee covers drafting accurate goods descriptions and submitting the application to the USPTO. Nothing recurs while the application is pending.

How do you register a furniture trademark step by step?

You register a furniture trademark by clearing the name, listing Class 20 goods, and filing with the USPTO. This creates a federal trademark registration linking your brand to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office record.

First, run a clearance search to confirm no confusingly similar furniture mark exists. Second, list your goods precisely in Class 20 (for example, "furniture, namely, tables, chairs, and sofas"). Third, pick a basis: use in commerce if you are already selling, or intent-to-use if you are preparing to launch. Fourth, submit a specimen such as product tags, packaging, or a website listing showing the mark. Because U.S.-domiciled applicants are not required to use an attorney, you can file directly through Secure Mark USA.
