Trademark registration
Register your trademark for a flat fee
One attorney fee covers the clearance search, the strength analysis, and preparing and filing your federal application. You see the full price before we begin.

$1,750
attorney fee, trademark registration, single class
Plus USPTO fees billed at cost: $350 per class minimum.
- Each additional class: +$850 plus $350 per class USPTO
- Statement of Use: $500 plus $150 per class USPTO
Includes clearance search, strength of mark analysis, and preparation and filing of the application. Office Action responses and statements of use are priced separately.
USPTO government fees are billed at cost and are not part of the attorney fee. The base application fee is $350 per class. The USPTO adds surcharges of $200 per class for a description not taken from its ID Manual, $100 per class for an incomplete application, and $200 per class for each additional 1,000 characters of description. We use ID Manual descriptions wherever they fit, which avoids the largest surcharge.
Why register federally
A federal registration gives you nationwide priority from your filing date, the right to use the ® symbol, and a public record that discourages others from adopting a similar mark. It is also the foundation for enforcing your brand online, where marketplaces and platforms ask for a registration number.
Fees, stated plainly
The attorney fee is the price of our work. The USPTO fee is what the government charges, and we pass it through at cost. Keeping the two apart means our price does not change when the USPTO changes its fees, and you can compare our quote with any other.

- Clearance search of federal registrations and pending applications
- Strength of mark analysis and a written recommendation

Questions we hear often
How much does it cost to register a trademark?
Our attorney fee is a flat $1,750 for one class of goods or services, plus $850 for each additional class. The USPTO filing fee is separate and billed at cost: $350 per class at minimum, with surcharges in some cases.
What is a class, and how many do I need?
The USPTO sorts goods and services into 45 classes. You pay per class, so the number depends on what you sell under the mark. We confirm the right classes at the consultation, before you pay anything.
Are Office Action responses included?
No. If the USPTO examiner raises an issue, the response is priced separately at a flat fee: $750 for routine issues and $1,750 for a substantive refusal. We tell you which applies before we start.
Can I file before I start using the mark?
Yes. An intent-to-use application reserves your place in line. Before registration you file a Statement of Use once the mark is in use. That filing is $500 plus the USPTO fee of $150 per class.
