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: USD 290
Request for registration: USD 360
Publication: USD 310
Final registration/Certificate: USD 400
TOTAL: USD 1,360

Example 2: 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: 290 + 290 = USD 580
Request for registration: 360 + 360 = USD 720
Publication: 310 + 310 = USD 620
Final registration/Certificate: 400 + 400 = USD 800
TOTAL: USD 2,720

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 20. Each additional item after the first 20 is charged at a fee of USD10.
