Food & beverage trademark classes, with this week’s real filings

Honest limits: the public search returned 200 rows of the 1,138 F&B-class filings the USPTO index reported for the window, so shares are “within our 200-row pull,” not the whole register. 19 filings named two or more of these classes, so shares add up to more than 100%.

• Beer is 032, not 033. Class 033 is “alcoholic beverages, except beers.” Beer brands such as MIDDLE-EARTH (50131376) filed in 032; whiskey such as LANDMARK (50131411) filed in 033.
• Coffee is 030; a coffee shop is 043. RED BASALT COFFEE (50131355) filed for roasted coffee in 030, while KYOKO COFFEE (50131734) filed for coffee shop services in 043. 5 filings in the pull claimed both 030 and 043.
• Class 043 is not only restaurants. It also covers temporary accommodation. 7 of the 54 class-043 filings in the pull listed only lodging or booking services in that class (ACCESS THE WORLD, TPAD, TRAVELER PAD, SYSTAHS ON THE BLUFFS, DEAR GUEST, OUR ORLANDO ×2). A restaurant watch that reads all of 043 will see hotels too.
• Class 031 is more than produce. Of its 22 filings, 7 were pet or animal food and 10 were wreaths, live plants, seeds, preserved flowers or cat litter, not human food.
• Supplements sit outside food classes. Dietary and nutritional supplements are class 005. 10 filings in our pull (for example ROCKSTAR, 50129058) added class 005 alongside a food or drink class; Wet Ink does not track 005 on its own.

What trademark class is food?

Food is split across three classes. Class 029 covers meat, fish, dairy, eggs, oils and preserved or cooked fruits and vegetables. Class 030 covers coffee, tea, bakery goods, confectionery, chocolate, ice cream, rice, pasta, sauces and seasonings. Class 031 covers fresh produce and raw farm products, plus pet food. Restaurant and café services are class 043.

Is beer class 032 or 033?

Beer is class 032, together with non-alcoholic drinks, water and juices. Class 033 is alcoholic beverages except beer: wine, spirits, hard seltzers and similar. In Wet Ink's 2026-09-28 pull, beers such as MIDDLE-EARTH were filed in 032 and whiskeys such as LANDMARK in 033.

What class is a restaurant or coffee shop trademark?

Restaurant, café, bar and catering services are class 043. The coffee or food you sell in packages is a goods class (030 for coffee). Brands that do both often file in 030 and 043; 5 filings in our pull did exactly that.

Is this legal advice on which class to file in?

No. Wet Ink is a weekly filings digest for market awareness, not a law firm. Use the USPTO ID Manual and a trademark attorney for classification decisions, and verify every serial on TSDR.
