| $500 | ||
| Expedited Application Package | ||
| an additional $100 (filed within 48 hours) | ||
We never recommend that you file a trademark application without first obtaining a thorough search to ensure that the trademark you have chosen isn't in use by another individual or company. The type of search you need depends on several factors including your budget, the type of trademark you have chosen and the length of time (if any) you have used the trademark. We have three search options: |
||
| Knockout Search | ||
| $50 (word mark only) - FREE with all application packages! | ||
| Screening Search | ||
| $200 (word mark) $250 (design mark) | ||
| Comprehensive Federal, State and Common-Law Search | ||
| $375 (word mark only) | ||
| US Patent and Trademark Office Filing Fee | ||
| $325 per class of goods or services | ||
| US Patent and Trademark Office 'Statement of Use' Filing Fee | ||
| $100 per class of goods
or services - If you file an application before you actually
begin using your trademark (this is called an Intent-to-Use
application) the USPTO charges this additional fee when you
file a Statement of Use indicating that you have started
using the trademark. |

Trademark Application Filing &
Monitoring:
We can file and monitor the progress of your application and forward
the registration certificate to you as soon as it is received.
All you do is complete our online form with the information we need
to prepare your application. Once we receive all of the
necessary information, we immediately prepare your trademark
application and all other materials that must accompany the
application. Within five business days (or two business days
for expedited applications) you will receive the application by
email for your electronic signature.
For $500 you get:
- a complete trademark application prepared by a licensed attorney
specializing in trademark law
- we file the application for you and receive all correspondence
from the US Patent and Trademark Office on your behalf
- we place your application on our docketing system and monitor all
follow up dates and US Patent and Trademark Office deadlines, inform
you immediately of any correspondence from the US Patent and
Trademark Office and respond to any informal issues on your behalf
What is NOT included in the
Application Filing & Monitoring Package:
- the
USPTO filing fee of $325 per class of goods or services
- our services in responding to any formal* objections from the
USPTO
- the USPTO Statement of Use filing fee of $100 per class of goods
or services (applicable ONLY IF your application is filed before you
actually begin using your trademark in which case you must provide
evidence of use of the trademark AFTER the initial filing of your
application)
* A formal objection from
the USPTO is anything other than a simple matter that can be handled
by telephone call to the PTO Examiner
Top
The Expedited Application Package
- additional $100 – We can have your
application ready for filing
within 2 business days of receiving all necessary information and
materials from you, often even sooner.
Top
Knockout Search
– $50 (word mark) – This is the minimum search recommended before
filing an application. This search includes only federal and state trademark applications and
registrations that are identical to your trademark. The fee includes
the search itself as well as review of the search by a licensed
trademark attorney who will point out any trademarks that could
potentially block your use or registration of your chosen trademark.
We offer this search free of charge with any new trademark
application.
Top
Screening Search (Federal and State)
– $200 (word
mark) - $250 (design mark) – This more extensive search
includes federal and state trademark applications and registrations
that are identical or similar to your trademark. Again, a
licensed trademark attorney will review the search results and give
you a brief written report pointing out any potentially conflicting
trademarks. Because the USPTO could reject your application if there
is a trademark that is not identical, but similar to your trademark,
it is important to consider any similar trademarks that might exist
that could block your use and registration of your mark. The fee includes
the search, review by a trademark attorney and a written report
pointing out any potentially conflicting trademarks.
Top
Comprehensive Federal, State and Common Law Search
– $375 (word mark only) The most
comprehensive search we offer includes everything covered in the
Screening Search as well as a common law search. An individual or
company can have rights in a trademark even without filing a federal
or state trademark application, simply by using the trademark.
For this reason, it is important to review all uses of a particular
word or phrase to make sure it isn't being used by someone else. The fee includes
the search, careful review of the search results by a trademark
attorney and a written report pointing out any potentially
conflicting trademarks.

US
Patent and Trademark Office Filing Fee
– $325 – The US Patent and Trademark Office
charges a fee of $325 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 $325. 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 falls in Class 20 and umbrellas
fall in Class 18, the filing fee for your application would be
$975.

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.
