3.2.2 Adding a class

Where there are incorrectly classified goods or services, the applicant may apply to the Commissioner to add additional classes to an application up to one month after filing the application¹⁰.  The addition of classes cannot broaden the scope of the original application, and such an addition will be subject to an additional application fee(s)¹¹.  No extension to this deadline is possible under the Act¹².

For more information on adding a class or classes to an application, see the Practice Guidelines on Adding a Class to an Application.
