Overview

Browse and search 96,000+ pre-approved goods & services descriptions from the Harmonised Database (HDB) and the USPTO ID Manual. Use this to power goods/services autocomplete in filing tools (pass class to scope results to a single Nice class), or to discover which classes accept a particular term (pass q without class for a cross-class search).

For background on how office acceptance works and the data sources behind this endpoint, see the Classifications & Goods/Services guide.

At least one of q or class must be provided. For semantic class discovery from a natural-language business description (e.g. “SaaS tool for HR teams”), use Suggest Classifications. For a drafted goods/services specification with filing-ready wording per class, use Suggest Goods & Services.

Query Parameters

q · string

Substring search across term text (2-200 characters). Optional if class is set. Returns 400 validation_error if neither q nor class is provided.

class · integer

Nice class number (1-45). Optional if q is set. Returns 400 if outside the 1-45 range, or 404 if the class number is in range but not loaded in reference data.

language · string · default: "en"

Language code (e.g. en, de, fr, es, it, ja).

harmonised_only · boolean · default: "false"

When true, only return terms on the TMClass harmonised list.

limit · integer · default: "20"

Max results (1-100).

cursor · string

Pagination cursor from pagination.cursor of the previous page.

Response

This endpoint is publicly cacheable, so the response never includes request_id.

object · string

Always list.

data · object[]

Array of term records ordered by term key.

data[].term · string

The term text.

data[].term_key · string

Stable normalized key for the term.

data[].class_number · integer

Nice class this term is filed under (1-45). Present on every result so cross-class searches render without follow-up fetches.

data[].taxonomy_path · string | null

TMClass taxonomy path identifier, when available.

data[].is_harmonised · boolean

Whether the term is on the harmonised list.

data[].accepted_offices · string[]

Offices that accept this term (e.g. USPTO, EUIPO).

data[].source · string

Source catalog (e.g. tmclass, uspto_idm).

data[].language · string

Language code.

has_more · boolean

Whether more pages are available.

pagination · object

Show Pagination

cursor · string | null

Cursor for the next page, or null on the last page.

Code Examples

Scoped autocomplete (user already picked a class)

cURL

curl -G "https://api.signa.so/v1/goods-services" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sig_YOUR_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "q=mobile applications" \
  --data-urlencode "class=9" \
  --data-urlencode "harmonised_only=true" \
  --data-urlencode "limit=10"

import { Signa } from "@signa-so/sdk";

const signa = new Signa({ api_key: process.env.SIGNA_API_KEY });

const terms = await signa.goodsServices.list({
  q: "mobile applications",
  class: 9,
  harmonised_only: true,
  limit: 10,
});

Cross-class discovery (which classes accept this term?)

Pass only q (omit class) and inspect class_number on each result to see which classes contain the wording.

cURL

curl -G "https://api.signa.so/v1/goods-services" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sig_YOUR_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "q=poster" \
  --data-urlencode "limit=25"

const matches = await signa.goodsServices.list({ q: "poster", limit: 25 });

for (const t of matches.data) {
  console.log(`Class ${t.class_number}: ${t.term}`);
}

Browse all terms in a class

Pass only class (omit q) to page through the full list of accepted wording for one class.

TypeScript

let page = await signa.goodsServices.list({ class: 25, limit: 50 });
for (const t of page.data) console.log(t.term);
while (page.has_more) {
  page = await page.getNextPage();
  for (const t of page.data) console.log(t.term);
}

Errors

Status	Type	Description
400	validation_error	Neither q nor class provided, q shorter than 2 characters, or class outside the 1-45 range
401	unauthorized	Missing or invalid API key
403	forbidden	API key lacks trademarks:read scope
404	not_found	class is in range but not loaded in reference data
