Trademark Class 27: Floor coverings — What It Covers, With a Live Count
Short answer
Trademark class 27 covers carpets, rugs, mats, linoleum, and other floor coverings, and non-textile wall hangings. It is a goods class, and as of September 14, 2026 it holds 17,764 live US marks, 0.4% of the register, ranking 44 of 45 by size. A registration in class 27 protects the name only for these goods; the same name can be, and often is, registered by an unrelated business in another class.
Class 27 is a small class, with 17,764 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.
The floor covering that lies on top is 27; the floor that is part of the building is 19. Yoga mats are the crowded corner, and they are 27 rather than 28. Wallpaper is 27 by long convention, not 16 or 19.
What files in class 27
| Typically in class 27 | Examples of businesses |
|---|---|
| carpets and rugs | rug and carpet brands |
| doormats and bath mats | yoga mat companies |
| yoga and exercise mats | wallpaper makers |
| vinyl and linoleum flooring | flooring retailers |
| artificial turf | |
| wallpaper | |
| non-textile wall hangings |
The USPTO's ID Manual lists the accepted descriptions for class 27. 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 27
| Looks like class 27, but is | Class |
|---|---|
| structural flooring: hardwood, tile | 19 |
| textile wall hangings and tapestries | 24 |
| carpet installation | 37 |
| flooring retail | 35 |
| gym equipment other than mats | 28 |
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 27; the second class is a second filing fee, and a registration in one does not cover the other.
Coordinated classes
The USPTO searches class 27 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 27 application, and a class 27 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 27 is
| Live marks in class 27 | 17,764 |
| Share of the 45-class register | 0.4% |
| Rank by size | 44 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 27 mark most often comes from.
Before you file in class 27
- Confirm the goods are actually class 27 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 27 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.
