Trademark Class 30: Staple foods, coffee and bakery — What It Covers, With a Live Count
Short answer
Trademark class 30 covers coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar, rice, flour, bread, pastry, confectionery, ice cream, honey, spices, sauces, and condiments. It is a goods class, and as of September 14, 2026 it holds 103,546 live US marks, 2.2% of the register, ranking 15 of 45 by size. A registration in class 30 protects the name only for these goods; the same name can be, and often is, registered by an unrelated business in another class.
Class 30 is a large class, with 103,546 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 30 is the second grocery class, and it holds coffee, which makes it the class every coffee roaster and café starts with. The café itself is 43; the bag of beans is 30; many coffee businesses need both. Chocolate, candy, ice cream, and baked goods are all here, so the class is crowded with food names of every shape.
What files in class 30
| Typically in class 30 | Examples of businesses |
|---|---|
| coffee and tea | coffee roasters |
| bread, pastries, and baked goods | bakeries selling packaged goods |
| chocolate and candy | chocolate and confectionery brands |
| ice cream and frozen desserts | sauce and condiment companies |
| cereals and granola | cereal and snack brands |
| pasta, rice, and noodles | tea companies |
| spices, seasonings, and sauces | |
| honey and syrups | |
| pizza and sandwiches as prepared food |
The USPTO's ID Manual lists the accepted descriptions for class 30. 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 30
| Looks like class 30, but is | Class |
|---|---|
| meat, dairy, and preserved produce | 29 |
| coffee shop and café services | 43 |
| fresh fruit and vegetables | 31 |
| beverages other than coffee and tea: juice, soda, water | 32 |
| supplements | 5 |
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 30; the second class is a second filing fee, and a registration in one does not cover the other.
Coordinated classes
The USPTO searches class 30 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 30 application, and a class 30 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 30 is
| Live marks in class 30 | 103,546 |
| Share of the 45-class register | 2.2% |
| Rank by size | 15 of 45 |
| As of | September 14, 2026 |
A crowded class means more near matches to read through, and a higher chance that one of them is in your actual field. It is still worth searching the coordinated classes, since that is where a conflict for a class 30 mark most often comes from.
Before you file in class 30
- Confirm the goods are actually class 30 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 30 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.
