A: There are different costs involved, depending on the details. When filing a trademark application, you file in one or more “classes” (these are categories of goods/services), and the more classes, the greater the cost. There are also costs after filing of the application, which can vary depending on whether the trademark examiner assigned to your case issues any rejections. Additionally, if you file the application as an Intent-to-use application (necessary if you don’t yet have commercial use), there are additional costs down the road, which will very depending on how soon you are ultimately able to establish use. You should discuss the particulars of your case with a trademark attorney.

A: There are different costs involved depending on the type of application you are filing, for instance an if you file an intent-to-use application there will be additional costs throughout the registration process to complete your registration. The application cost vary on whether you use a TEA Plus or TEA Standard form as well. Many trademark filing services offer lower costs options than a law firm to assist you in filing your trademark with the USPTO and guiding you through the process.

A: The cost of filing for a trademark in the United States can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of trademark, the number of classes you want to register, and whether you hire an attorney to help you with the process.

The basic filing fee for a trademark application on the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website is currently $350 per class of goods or services. If you file a paper application, the fee is $600 per class.

If you hire an attorney to assist you with the trademark application, the costs can be higher, as you will need to pay for their legal services in addition to the filing fees. Attorney fees can vary depending on the attorney's experience and hourly rate, but the cost can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

It's important to note that the cost of filing for a trademark is just one part of the overall cost of building a strong trademark, as you may also need to pay for trademark searches, monitoring, enforcement, and renewals.

A: Be careful of the online sites that offer a low price. You get what you pay for.

You want to sit down with somebody that can explain your chances, process and risks.

Best luck
