Games, toys, playthings and objects of amusement, such as snow globes and confetti, are in Class 28.
Decorations for Christmas trees, Christmas trees of synthetic material and Christmas tree stands are in Class 28 as well. However, candles, electric lights and confectionery decorations for Christmas trees are in the appropriate classes for candles, lights and confectionery, namely, Cl. 4, Cl. 11 and Cl. 30, respectively. Natural Christmas trees are in Cl. 31, whereas artificial Christmas garlands and artificial Christmas wreaths belong to Cl. 26.
All amusement and game apparatus, whether with integrated display screens or adapted for use with external display screens or monitors, are in Class 28, along with the controllers for such apparatus. Although all video game apparatus is in Class 28, it should be noted that game software is in fact in Cl. 9.
While most gymnastic and sporting articles are in Class 28, there are some significant exceptions, such as protective helmets and goggles for sports in Cl. 9, gymnastic mats in Cl. 27 and boots for sports in Cl. 25. Similarly hunting and fishing tackle for recreational purposes is generally in Class 28 but some related goods such as hunting firearms and harpoons for fishing are in other classes (Cl. 13 and Cl. 8, respectively). It is also important to remember that while many goods designated as being for swimming purposes are in Class 28, equipment for diving is in Cl. 9 as life-saving apparatus.
