Deciphering Class 39 of Nice Classification for trademarks: 

Trademark Class 39 is one of 45 NICE Classifications used to identify and classify products and/or services.

Class 39 for trademarks a brief description: 

When someone asks us about Class 39, the first thing we could think about is services for the transport of people, animals, or goods from one place to another by rail, road, water, air, or pipeline. Wow how helpful!! also, the storing of goods in any storage facility, warehouses, or other types of building for their preservation or guarding, and the services necessarily connected with such transport

Class 39 for trademarks header: 

The Nice Class Headings describe in very broad terms the nature of the goods or services contained in each class. The Class 39 class header includes: Transport; packaging and storage of goods; travel arrangement.

Famous brands protected on Class 39: 

• United Parcel Service of America 

• American Airlines, Inc.

• TUI AG

• Amazon Technologies, Inc.

• Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

• Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft

• Viking River Cruises (Bermuda) Ltd

After reading the list of services, what came across my mind immediately are services relating to advertising transport undertakings, such as the distribution of prospectuses or advertising, on the radio but these fall under Class 35 and not Class 39. 

Class 39 for trademarks does not include:

Services relating to the issuing of travelers’ cheques or letters of credit by brokers or travel agents are included in Class 36. Class 39 does not include services relating to the reservation of rooms in a hotel by travel agents or brokers in Class 43. Services rendered by the maintenance and repair of vehicles, nor the maintenance or repair of objects connected with the transport of persons or goods covered by Class 37.

Trademark classes are coordinated and similar to Class 39: 

When a specific product or service falls under more than one trademark classification, the applicant must apply in each of the trademark classes in which the product or service falls. These extra trademark classes or classifications are called "Coordinated Classes."

• Trademark Class 35: 

Advertising; business management; business administration; office functions

• Trademark Class 36:

Insurance; financial affairs; monetary affairs; real estate affairs.

• Trademark Class 37:

Building construction; repair; installation services.

• Trademark Class 43:

Building construction; repair; installation services.

Trademark Class 39 and the Metaverse:

Change is required for progress, such as progress in technology, Metaverse is the new face of intellectual property rights, and who knows, days or weeks from now, it is possible to use imaginary transportation like (flying cars & trains), and it is related to many things needed to transport people, animals and goods in real life. Metaverse is attempting to create a new virtual world that is identical to, and possibly better than, the real world. As a result, we will see a large number of trademarks registered in the Metaverse under Class 39.

Understanding the main elements of Class 39: 

The hierarchy has been developed by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and national offices of the European Union with the collaboration of WIPO. Although based on the Nice Classification, it does not form part of the Classification. The hierarchy does not have any legal effect on trademark examination or the comparison of goods and services. This is without prejudice to the possibility of using the hierarchy as an administrative tool in the specification of goods and services voluntarily.
