USPTO Trademark Fees

Below are the trademark fees charged by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. For more information about the fees, you can check the USPTO Fees and Payments page.

Most USPTO fees are charged on a “per class” basis.  In other words, if your registration covers goods or services that fall under multiple classes as listed in the International Classification of Goods and Services, you will have to pay a separate filing fee for each class.  See the “Trademark Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services” for a list of acceptable goods and services descriptions.

You can check USPTO’s fee schedule on their website or you can call the USPTO’s General Information Service Division at (800) 786-9199 [PTO-9199] or (703) 308-4357 [308-HELP], or by fax at (703) 305-7786.

Note that some fees for trademark applications and renewals were reduced as of January 17, 2015, as announced in the Federal Register on December 16, 2014. Just remember to check the latest fees before filing as USPTO fees are subject to change.
