What are the advantages of filing a single class application versus a multiple class application?
A multiple class application covering goods or services in more than one class (effective as of March 1, 1998) allows feasible maintenance of a trademark. However, if a refusal is issued for one class or classes, prosecution of the application may become complicated and prolonged. A divisional application will have to filed in order to divide out the portion(s) which is/are not refused to keep said portion(s) alive, at an additional charge. Thus, an applicant may prefer to file single class applications for certain marks.
