It is always better to protect a trademark in particular class. In case a company exists and doesn’t protect their name in particular business, the prior user of the mark in that class can object the company registering trademark in that particular class. For example, a company XYZ Pvt. Ltd. incorporated in 2000 and starts carrying out business of food items which falls any one of the classes amongst 29, 30, 31 and 32. Whereas, other person/company in 2005 get the name XYZ registered in all the classes 29, 30, 31 and 32. Later in 2010 on when the company XYZ Pvt. Ltd. want to get that trademark registered; it could not get the mark XYZ registered in all the classes, because it is already registered by someone else. Using prior user claim also, the company XYZ Pvt. Ltd. can only obtain registration in one class it has carried out business before the other proprietor. In other classes the trademark has been lost.
