Modified classification of goods and services comes into force on January 1, 2019

The Nice Classification, 11th Edition, Version 2019 as modified by the World Intellectual Property Organization recently came into force on January 1, 2019. In response, TIPO released modified classification of goods and services based on the Nice Classification, in hopes of providing references for trademark applicants.
