USPTO government filing fees are set by the government, shown separately and never marked up by us. We confirm how many classes you actually need before any government fee is due.

One payment · our $199 fee plus $350 per class to the USPTO, totalled for you at the end of the form.
What happens if your filing gets refused?
A refusal is a normal, expected step rather than a rejection of your brand. Here is exactly what follows, so there are no surprises after you have paid.
The USPTO issues an office action
A large share of applications receive an initial refusal or requirement. It means an examiner raised something and is giving you a window to answer.
The response gets written
A licensed US attorney reads the actual refusal and reviews the response before it is released to you, and you file it from your own USPTO account — a flat $299, never billed by the hour.
Registration moves forward
Many well-argued responses lead to approval. If the USPTO still refuses, you keep the right to appeal and we explain the options rather than disappearing.
The number that actually changes your total.
The USPTO sorts goods and services into 45 classes. You need one for each distinct category your brand covers. Our $199 fee does not change with the count, but the government fee applies to every class — so the class count is what moves your total. We confirm it before any government fee is due.
What people ask before they file.
The questions that decide what a filing really costs and how long it really takes.
How much does it cost to file a trademark?
$199 for our service, plus the USPTO's fee of $350 per class of goods or services, paid to the government. A single-class filing is therefore $549 in total. Filing from outside the United States is $349 rather than $199, because the USPTO requires foreign-domiciled applicants to be represented by a licensed US attorney.
Who actually signs my application?
A licensed US attorney reviews it before it is filed. We prepare the application; the attorney checks it. We are not a law firm ourselves.
How long does registration take?
Typically eight to fourteen months from filing to registration if nothing goes wrong, and longer if the USPTO issues an office action. Nobody can shorten the examination queue, and any service promising to is describing something else.
What happens if the USPTO refuses my application?
You receive an office action with a deadline printed on it. A licensed attorney can respond for a flat $299 — the same price whatever the refusal turns out to be. Many refusals are answerable; some are not, and we say which we think yours is before you pay.
Are the USPTO fees refundable if my mark is refused?
No. Government fees are non-refundable once processed, whatever the outcome. That is true on every filing route, which is the reason to check a name before paying them.
Can you guarantee my trademark will register?
No, and nobody can. Registration is the USPTO's decision. What we control is that the application is prepared properly, uses pre-approved wording, and is reviewed by an attorney before it is submitted.
