Trademark Class 39 in Nepal — Transport, Travel & Logistics (What It Covers, Full List & How to File)

NICE Class 39 covers transport, packaging and storage of goods, and travel arrangement. It is a services class hugely relevant to Nepal's tourism and trade — trekking and travel operators, couriers, logistics and warehousing all sit here. You register a Class 39 trademark with the Department of Industry, and it protects your service brand — with a key line: arranging or providing transport and travel is Class 39, but guided tours are Class 41 and hotel booking is Class 43.

Key Takeaways

• Class 39 is the transport, travel and logistics class — transporting people and goods, packaging, storage and travel arrangement.
• It includes courier and delivery, warehousing, vehicle rental, and arranging travel and tours.
• Guided tours are Class 41, hotel booking is Class 43, and vehicle repair is Class 37 — not Class 39.
• Nepal's trekking and travel agencies, airlines, couriers and logistics firms file here.
• It also covers utility distribution — electricity and water supply.
• Register with the Department of Industry for a renewable 7-year term.

What does Trademark Class 39 cover?

Class 39 covers transport; packaging and storage of goods; and travel arrangement. The unifying idea is moving people, animals or goods, storing them, and arranging travel — by rail, road, water, air or pipeline — plus vehicle rental, warehousing and utility distribution. It is defined against guided tours (Class 41), hotel booking (Class 43) and vehicle repair (Class 37).

What Class 39 does not include

The rule of thumb: moving, storing or arranging travel is Class 39, but guided tours are Class 41, accommodation booking is Class 43, and vehicle repair is Class 37.

Who files in Class 39 in Nepal?

Class 39 is one of the most tourism-relevant classes for Nepal. It is filed by trekking and travel agencies and tour operators, airlines and transport operators, courier and parcel-delivery companies, logistics and freight-forwarding firms, warehousing providers, and utility distributors. For a travel or courier brand, the transport or arrangement service is exactly what Class 39 protects. Confirm your class with the NICE Class Finder.

How to register a trademark in Class 39

Search the register for earlier transport and travel marks, confirm Class 39 fits (and that a guided tour isn't really Class 41 or accommodation Class 43), prepare your mark and a precise service specification, and file with the Department of Industry. It examines, publishes for the 90-day opposition window, and registers for a renewable 7-year term. See how to register a trademark in Nepal.

Do you need more than one class?

Often, in travel. A travel company arranging transport (Class 39) may also run guided tours (Class 41) and book accommodation (Class 43), and advertise (Class 35). Because Nepal files one class per application with per-class fees, map your business first. See choosing the right class, and the neighbouring Class 38 (Telecommunications) and Class 40 (Material Treatment).

A Nepal example

Take a Nepali trekking and travel agency. Arranging transport, transfers and travel bookings is Class 39, where its brand is registered. But the guided treks and tours it leads are Class 41, the hotel and lodge bookings it makes are Class 43, and its advertising is Class 35. One travel brand can span Class 39 for transport/arrangement, Class 41 for guided tours, and Class 43 for accommodation — filing only in Class 39 leaves the tour and accommodation identity exposed. For Nepal's tourism operators, this multi-class map is essential.

Getting Class 39 right: common mistakes

The defining Class 39 mistakes are the borders with Class 41 and Class 43. Arranging or providing transport and travel is Class 39, but conducting a guided tour is Class 41, and booking accommodation is Class 43. Travel businesses that do all three often file only Class 39. A second common error is filing vehicle repair or maintenance in Class 39 — that is Class 37.

A third pitfall is data storage: physical storage of documents is Class 39, but electronic data storage is Class 42. Specify your real services precisely, so your Class 39 registration is clear, and add Class 41, 43 or 35 where your travel business genuinely extends there.

Why precise Class 39 filing matters

Travel and logistics brands compete on trust and reliability, and Nepal's tourism sector is crowded, so a precise, early registration protects real value. Naming your real services — "arranging of travel tours", "courier services", "freight forwarding" — makes the application easier to register and clearer to enforce, and captures the service precisely. Because Nepal is first-to-file, the date you lodge secures your priority. For a travel, courier or logistics brand, an early, precise Class 39 filing — plus Class 41 and 43 where you guide tours and book stays — is foundational.

In short

Class 39 is the transport, travel and logistics class — moving people and goods, packaging, storage and travel arrangement. The lines to remember: guided tours are Class 41, accommodation booking is Class 43, and vehicle repair is Class 37. Get that right, specify your services precisely, and file early to protect a travel, courier or logistics brand.

Class 39 filing checklist

• Confirm you're transporting, storing or arranging travel — not guiding tours (41) or booking stays (43).
• Check the exclusions — Class 35, 36, 37, 41, 42 or 43.
• Write a precise service specification and search the register.
• Add Class 41 and 43 where your travel business extends there.
• File with the Department of Industry and track to registration.
