Filing in one class
A single-class application in class 37 costs $350 in USPTO government fees, paid to the government, plus our flat fee of $199 — $549 in total. Every additional class is another $350. Government fees are current as of 18 January 2025.
Work out how many classes you need Check if the name is taken
This page describes how the USPTO groups goods and services in general. It is not legal advice about your application, and the lists above are written for the common case rather than being exhaustive. Which classes you actually need depends on what you sell, and a licensed attorney confirms them before anything is filed.
Classes either side of this one
Class 35 — Advertising, retail and business services
The most commonly forgotten class in the entire system. Selling products is one thing; running the shop you sell them in is a separate service, and this is it.
Class 36 — Financial, insurance and real estate services
Money and property services — banking, lending, payments, insurance, investment and real estate.
Class 38 — Telecommunications
Carrying other people's messages and signals. A narrow class, and a commonly mis-selected one: most apps are not telecoms businesses.
Class 39 — Transport, delivery and travel
Moving people or goods from one place to another, storing them, and arranging travel.
