12th edition of the Locarno Classification in force

20. February 2020

The 12th edition of the International Classification of Industrial Design (Locarno Classification) has been in force since 2019, and now the official Design 2020 list of products is also in force. The amendment concerns new design applications and also registered designs that are reclassified ex officio.

 

A design application must contain an indication of products which are to be classified according to the Locarno Classification. This serves to order the registered designs and makes them easier to search. The German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) has applied the 12th edition of the Locarno Classification to all design registrations since 1 January 2019.

Together with the Locarno Classification, an official list of goods for designs is published. Both are revised at regular intervals to keep them up to date. The 12th edition of the Locarno Classification came into force on 01.01.2019 and the official product list Design 2020 on 01.01.2020.

If the classification has changed with regard to the product indication and the goods terms registered for it, registered designs are reclassified ex officio.

DPMA offers good online functions

The current notice is also available on the DPMA Designs website. The DPMA also offers a search engine for searching the available product terms.

When filing designs electronically via DPMA, the current list of goods and services is also stored with the product specification. Even when using the DPMAdirekt software, the current version of the product list is available, provided that the update function of the software is used.

In addition, you will find the complete Locarno classification with subclasses via the DPMA overview Designs for download, as an Excel list.

Listing: Overview of the classes of the Locarno classes
Class 1: Food products
Class 2: Clothing and haberdashery
Class 3: ‘Travel goods, cases, umbrellas and personal effects not included in other classes
