The International (Nice) Classification of Goods and Services classifies different goods and
services into 45 Trademark Classes (1 to 34 cover Goods, and 35 to 45 cover Services). This
classification is used by Indian Trademark Registry to classify the trademarks.

Class 40 includes mainly services not included in other classes, rendered by the mechanical or
chemical processing, transformation or production of objects or inorganic or organic substances,
including custom manufacturing services.

For the purposes of classification, the production or manufacturing of goods is considered a

service only in cases where it is effected for the account of another person to their order and
specification. If the production or manufacturing is not being performed to fulfill an order for
goods which meet the customer’s particular needs, requirements, or specifications, then it is
generally ancillary to the maker’s primary commercial activity or goods in trade. If the substance
or object is marketed to third parties by the person who processed, transformed or produced it,
then this would generally not be considered a service.

This Class includes, in particular:

 Services relating to transformation of an object or substance and any process involving a
change in its essential properties (for example, dyeing a garment); consequently, a
maintenance service, although usually class 37, is included in Class 40 if it entails such a
change (for example, the chroming of motor vehicle bumpers)
 Services of material treatment which may be present during the production of any substance
or object other than a building; for example, services which involve cutting, shaping,
polishing by abrasion or metal coating
 The custom manufacturing of goods to the order and specification of others (bearing in mind
that certain offices require that the goods produced be indicated), for example, custom
manufacturing of automobiles.
This Class does not include:
 Repair services (Class 37)
 Certain customization services, for example, the custom painting of automobiles (Class 37)
