US Patent and Trademark Office Filing Fee – $335 – The US Patent and Trademark Office charges a fee of $335 for each class of goods or services. In some cases, related products or services covered under your application may fall within a single class of goods or services. For example, you may sell carpeting and rugs, linoleum and wall hangings all under the same brand name (trademark). In this case, since all of these products fall in Class 27, the filing fee for your application would be $335. However, sometimes related goods or services fall in separate classes. For example, if you sell clothing, leather jewelry and umbrellas all under the same brand name, you would need to file your application covering three classes of goods. Since clothing falls in Class 25, leather jewelry fall in Class 20 and umbrellas fall in Class 18, the filing fee for your application would be $1005.

US Patent and Trademark Office Statement of Use Filing Fee – $100 – If you file a trademark application before you actually begin using your trademark (yes, it is possible to “reserve” a trademark this way, it’s called an Intent to Use application) the application will proceed through the process as any other application. However, once the examination phase is completed, you will have to file a Statement of Use showing that you have begun using the mark. The US Patent and Trademark Office charges a fee of $100 for each class of goods or services covered by your application.
