- Apr 24
- 4 min read
Welcome back to our USPTO Trademark Classes Blog Series, where we break down each trademark class to help businesses categorize and protect their brands.
In this installment, we’re covering Trademark Class 24, which includes textile fabrics, household linens, and upholstery materials. If your business manufactures, sells, or distributes fabrics, bed linens, or home textile goods, this class may be the right fit for your trademark.
If you’ve ever asked, “Can I trademark my fabric brand?” or “Does my product fall under Class 24?”, this guide will help clarify whether this classification is appropriate for your brand.

What is Trademark Class 24?
Trademark Class 24 covers textile fabrics and textile goods that are not classified as clothing. This includes materials used for upholstery, home décor, bedding, and industrial applications.
Some examples of goods that might fall under Trademark Class 24 include:
Household Linens: Bed sheets, pillowcases, duvets, towels
Curtains and Drapery: Window curtains, fabric blinds, sheer panels
Upholstery and Furniture Fabrics: Textile coverings for sofas, chairs, and cushions
Raw Textile Fabrics: Cotton fabric, linen fabric, silk fabric, synthetic fabric
Industrial and Commercial Fabrics: Canvas, flame-resistant fabrics, waterproof textiles
Table Linens: Tablecloths, napkins, placemats
Quilts and Throws: Bed covers, blankets, comforters
If your product is a textile material used for home, upholstery, or industrial applications, Trademark Class 24 is likely the correct classification.
Why Trademark Class 24 Matters for Your Business
Registering a trademark under Class 24 helps protect your brand within the textile, home goods, and upholstery industries. Here’s why filing in this class might be important:
Prevents brand confusion – Many textile and fabric manufacturers use similar names. A registered trademark ensures your brand stands out.
Protects against counterfeiting – The textile industry faces a high number of imitation products, and a trademark prevents unauthorized sellers from using your name.
Strengthens brand reputation and trust – Consumers associate fabric and textile brands with quality and durability. A trademark reinforces your product’s reliability.
Supports business expansion – If you plan to expand into clothing, furniture, or interior design materials, a trademark in Class 24 provides legal protection as your brand grows.
Examples of Trademarks in Class 24
Many well-known textile and home linen brands have trademarks registered under Class 24. Here are a few examples:
Ralph Lauren Home® – Protects its brand for bedding, curtains, and textile home décor.
Brooklinen® – Covers bed sheets, towels, and household linens.
Sunbrella® – Trademarks its name for weather-resistant outdoor fabrics and upholstery.
These companies rely on trademark protection to preserve their brand identity and prevent unauthorized use of their names and textile patterns.
Do You Need a Trademark Search Before Filing in Class 24?
A comprehensive trademark search is strongly recommended before applying in Class 24. Textile and linen brands often have overlapping names, increasing the likelihood of conflicts in this category.

USPTO Database Search – Identifying similar trademarks that could cause conflicts.

How to Determine if Class 24 is Right for Your Trademark
If you’re unsure whether Trademark Class 24 is the correct category for your product, consider the following:
Is your product a fabric, linen, or textile good?
If it’s a cotton fabric, tablecloth, blanket, or curtain, Class 24 is likely appropriate.
Is your product used for home décor or upholstery?
Couch fabrics, mattress covers, and drapery belong in Class 24.
Does your product overlap with other classes?
Some fabric and textile-based products may require multiple classifications. Examples include:
Clothing made from textiles may need Class 25 (Clothing & Apparel).
Ropes, nets, and heavy-duty textiles could belong in Class 22 (Ropes & Textile Materials).
Textile-based medical garments or wraps might require Class 10 (Medical Devices).
If your product crosses multiple categories, filing in more than one class might be necessary for full brand protection.
