Design Classification
For administrative purposes relating to design applications, different types of design are split up into different classes under the Locarno classification. By classifying designs in this manner it is easier for interested parties to search for designs in a particular field of design.
The Locarno classification is quite extensive, and the below class headings provide a mere overview of the classification. For detailed information on the Locarno classification please visit the WIPO website here.
