The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) uses a trademark classification system to categorize similar marks. The Madrid International Trademark System is a convenient and cost-effective way to register a trademark worldwide. To register a trademark through the Madrid System, it must be included in at least one of the 45 international trademark classes outlined in the Nice Classification of Goods and Services.
