Optimal trademark strategy for startups: What, why and when
Based on our years of experience in trademark registration and brand protection services, we have compiled a brief guide for an optimal trademark strategy for emerging companies.
The price for filing a trademark application for one class in the U.S. is $350. This fee applies to each class of goods or services you wish to protect under the trademark.
This pricing was changed on January 18, 2025, when the USPTO simplified its fee structure. Prior to this date, there were different options for filing fees (TEAS Plus and TEAS Standard), but now there is a single base fee of $350 per class.
Please bear in mind that these prices include only the government fees paid directly to the USPTO. If you are not filing your application yourself but through a legal representative, additional costs for their service will apply.
