Trademark Class 39: Transport and storage — What It Covers, With a Live Count
Short answer
Trademark class 39 covers transport, packaging and storage of goods, travel arrangement, delivery, logistics, and vehicle rental and sharing. It is a services class, and as of September 14, 2026 it holds 49,176 live US marks, 1.0% of the register, ranking 29 of 45 by size. A registration in class 39 protects the name only for these services; the same name can be, and often is, registered by an unrelated business in another class.
Class 39 is a mid-sized class, with 49,176 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.
Moving people or things is 39. The vehicle is 12; the app is 9; the platform that matches riders to drivers is 39 and usually 42 as well. Travel booking is 39 for the transport and 43 for the lodging, and most travel platforms file both. Storage of goods is 39; storage of data is 42.
What files in class 39
| Typically in class 39 | Examples of businesses |
|---|---|
| delivery and courier services | logistics companies |
| freight, shipping, and logistics | delivery startups |
| ride-hailing and taxi services | ride-share and micromobility platforms |
| car, bike, and scooter rental or sharing | travel agencies |
| travel agency and booking | moving companies |
| airlines, rail, and bus services | airlines |

The USPTO's ID Manual lists the accepted descriptions for class 39. 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 39
| Looks like class 39, but is | Class |
|---|---|
| the vehicles | 12 |
| the booking app | 9 |
| hotels and lodging | 43 |
| vehicle repair | 37 |
| tour guiding as entertainment | 41 |
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 39; the second class is a second filing fee, and a registration in one does not cover the other.
Coordinated classes
The USPTO searches class 39 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 39 application, and a class 39 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 39 is
| Live marks in class 39 | 49,176 |
| Share of the 45-class register | 1.0% |
| Rank by size | 29 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 39 mark most often comes from.
Before you file in class 39
- Confirm the services are actually class 39 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 39 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.
