Filings vs. Classifications

A single trademark application (filing) can cover multiple NICE classes. For example, a tech company might file one application that covers Class 9 (software), Class 35 (advertising services), and Class 42 (cloud computing) all at once. On WikiTrademarks, filings counts the number of distinct applications a brand has submitted, while classes counts the number of unique NICE categories those filings span. A brand with 10 filings across 25 classes is casting a wider net than one with 10 filings across 3 classes.
