Calculation of Registration Costs

Example 1: One mark one class
If you want to apply to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, one mark one class, the total fees for both trademark pre-filing search and registration request and certificate are:

Pre-filing search: USD310
Request for registration: USD650
Final registration/Certificate: USD220
TOTAL: USD1,180

Example 2: One mark two classes
If you want to apply to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear) and Class 26 (Lace and embroidery, ribbons and braid; buttons, hooks and eyes, pins and needles; artificial flowers), that is, one mark two classes, the total fees for both trademark pre-filing search and registration request and certificate are:

Pre-filing search: 310 + 310 = USD620
Request for registration: 650 + 600 = USD1,250
Final registration/Certificate: 220 + 170 = USD390
TOTAL: USD2,260

Example 3: Two marks one class
If you want to apply to have your trademarks "ABC" and "DEF" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, two marks one class, the total fees for both trademark pre-filing searches and registration requests and certificates are:

Pre-filing search: 310 + 310 = USD620
Request for registration: 650 + 650 = USD1,300
Final registration/Certificate: 220 + 220 = USD440
TOTAL: USD2,360

The costs illustrated in the examples above are based on the assumption of a smooth application, that is, no objection being raised by the trademark office or any other third party. Also, the costs stated above exclude courier charges for sending the Power of Attorney and delivery of Certificate of Registration upon acceptance of registration.

It is further assumed that the number of items of products included in each class is not more than 6. Each additional item after the first 6 is charged at a fee of USD25.
