The eleventh edition of the Nice Classification will enter into force on January 1, 2017. The new edition will introduce 334 new terms and amendments to fifteen class headings, mainly arising from a joint proposal submitted by Japan, Switzerland, the U.S., the EU Intellectual Property Office, and WIPO. It will be available on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) website at www.wipo.int, and will be applied to all applications for international registrations received by the Office on or after January 1, 2017. But WIPO will not reclassify goods and services under international registrations affected by renewals, subsequent designations, or other changes filed after December 31, 2016.
