What Does It Cost to Federally Register a Mark?

The USPTO segregates the universe of goods and services into roughly 45 classes.  Examples of those classes include: chemicals; paints; cosmetics; metal goods; machinery; hand tools; vehicles; jewelry; musical instruments; rubber goods; furniture; housewares; clothing; toys; foods; adverting and business; building construction and repair; telecommunications; transportation and storage; education and entertainment; hotels and restaurants; computer, engineering, and legal services; etc.

For each class in which you seek registration of a mark, the USPTO currently charges between $275 and $375, depending on how the application is presented, that charge payable with the application.

Once you have clearly identified the desired classes, and provided an identification of the goods or services for which you want to register the mark in each of those classes, the typical charges by Michael Haynes PLC for preparing and filing the application are about $200-$300 per mark, plus about $100-$150 per class, plus the USPTO charge described above.
