Trademark Class 19: Building materials — What It Covers, With a Live Count
Short answer
Trademark class 19 covers non-metal building materials, rigid non-metal pipes, asphalt and pitch, non-metal transportable buildings, and monuments. It is a goods class, and as of September 14, 2026 it holds 33,340 live US marks, 0.7% of the register, ranking 34 of 45 by size. A registration in class 19 protects the name only for these goods; the same name can be, and often is, registered by an unrelated business in another class.
Class 19 is a small class, with 33,340 live marks out of 4,796,936 across all 45 classes. A live mark is one that is registered or pending; the count is computed from USPTO bulk data by each mark's primary class and refreshed daily.
Class 19 is the non-metal counterpart to class 6, and the material decides: a steel door is 6, a wooden door is 19. Flooring that is part of the building (tile, hardwood) is 19; a rug on top of it is 27. The builder is 37.
What files in class 19
| Typically in class 19 | Examples of businesses |
|---|---|
| lumber and timber | building material suppliers |
| bricks, tiles, and stone | flooring brands |
| cement, concrete, and asphalt | window and door makers |
| non-metal windows, doors, and flooring | prefab and modular builders |
| glass for building | |
| non-metal sheds and prefabricated buildings | |
| roofing (non-metal) |
The USPTO's ID Manual lists the accepted descriptions for class 19. Choosing one of them keeps the filing fee at $350 per class; a custom description costs $550. See what a trademark costs.
What is not in class 19
| Looks like class 19, but is | Class |
|---|---|
| metal building materials | 6 |
| construction services | 37 |
| paint and coatings | 2 |
| furniture | 20 |
| floor coverings that are not structural, such as rugs | 27 |
The class follows the product, not the industry. A business in this field will often need one of the classes above as well as class 19; the second class is a second filing fee, and a registration in one does not cover the other.
Coordinated classes
The USPTO searches class 19 together with these classes when it examines an application, because confusion between them is common. A live mark in a coordinated class can block a class 19 application, and a class 19 mark can block one of these.
A near match in a coordinated class is worth reading closely. A near match anywhere else on the register is usually not. See is my name trademarked for how to read one.
How crowded class 19 is
| Live marks in class 19 | 33,340 |
| Share of the 45-class register | 0.7% |
| Rank by size | 34 of 45 |
| As of | September 14, 2026 |
A smaller class means fewer near matches, and a name that is clear here tends to stay clear. It is still worth searching the coordinated classes, since that is where a conflict for a class 19 mark most often comes from.
Before you file in class 19
- Confirm the goods are actually class 19 against the USPTO ID Manual, not against the industry the business is in.
- Check the neighbouring classes in the table above for anything the business also sells or does.
- Search the name on Silvol and read every live match by class: class 19 and its coordinated classes matter; others usually do not.
- Budget per class. Each class is $350 to file and $650 every ten years to maintain.
