The Challenge
FitPeo, Inc., based in Saint Johns, Florida, is a venture-backed health technology company building a remote patient monitoring (RPM) platform. FitPeo operates at the intersection of software, medical devices, and healthcare services, three distinct trademark classes.
- Health technology companies face a particular trademark question: their brand spans software platforms (Class 9), physical medical devices (Class 10), and the healthcare services delivered through them (Class 44). Filing in only one class leaves the other parts of the business uncovered.
- Remote patient monitoring is a fast-growing field, which makes a clearly owned name more valuable each year.
- As a venture-backed startup, FitPeo needed to show investors and healthcare partners that its trademark was filed across all three of its business lines (software, devices, and services) before they ran due diligence on its brand assets.
- Healthcare brands work under close regulatory scrutiny, so a clearly owned name across devices and services matters to patients and partners.
In healthcare technology, patients and providers rely on a name they recognize. One trademark across software, devices, and services keeps that name with FitPeo.
Our Approach
A health technology brand has to be protected as software, as a medical device, and as a clinical service all at once. FitPeo's filing covered all three classes, not just the app.
Class Mapping for a Health Technology Brand
We mapped FitPeo's business model against the Nice classification system, identifying that three classes were needed: Class 9 for its software platform and digital health tools, Class 10 for remote monitoring devices and medical instruments, and Class 44 for the healthcare services delivered through the platform.
Healthcare Trademark Clearance Search
We searched all three classes, with particular attention to the crowded digital health space. The search included FDA-registered device names, existing health platform trademarks, and trademarks that could create confusion in the medical services category.
Coordinated 3-class Filing
We filed a single coordinated application covering all three Nice classes with precisely drafted descriptions: digital health platforms and RPM software (Class 9), medical monitoring devices and instruments (Class 10), and remote patient monitoring and healthcare management services (Class 44).
Investor-ready IP Documentation
Alongside the filing, we prepared IP portfolio documentation suitable for due diligence review by investors and healthcare partners, showing that FitPeo's trademark application covers software, devices, and services, the three parts of its business.
The Results
FitPeo's trademark registered at the USPTO on October 17, 2023 in all three classes: software, devices, and services.

Key Takeaways
Health technology companies do well to file across software (Class 9), devices (Class 10), and services (Class 44), so the name is covered in each.
In healthcare, a registered trademark helps patients and providers know who stands behind a device or a service.
Venture-backed startups do well to file early in every class their product touches, as a strong IP portfolio supports fundraising and partner conversations.
A coordinated multi-class filing is simpler to manage than separate applications filed as the business grows into new categories.
