How Much Does It Cost to Register a Trademark in the USA? (2025 Guide)
So, you’ve got a killer brand name or logo and you’re ready to make it official with a trademark. But before you do, there’s one big question on your mind:
“How much will it cost me?”
Let’s walk you through it — no jargon, no confusion, just real numbers and smart advice.
Table of Contents
1. USPTO Filing Fee
Every trademark filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requires a government filing fee.
Here’s the breakdown:
If your trademark covers multiple types of goods or services (known as classes), the cost increases per class.
Most small businesses file under 1 or 2 classes.
2. Attorney or Filing Service Fee
This depends on how you file:
DIY: Just pay the USPTO fee, but you’re fully on your own
Trademark service provider (like us):
$39: Filing only
$99: Search + Filing
$199: Filing + Search + Monitoring + Cease & Desist Letter
$399: All-in-one protection + Attorney support
Tip: Filing without research is like gambling. You may lose your money and get rejected if someone already owns a similar mark.
3. Optional Costs (But Worth It!)
Trademark Search: Avoids conflicts
Monitoring: Alerts you if someone tries to copy you
Legal Response: If USPTO asks for clarifications, you’ll need professional help
Real-World Example
Let’s say you’re launching a skincare brand called “GlowNest.”
You choose the $99 package (search + filing) and apply under 1 class:
USPTO Fee: $250
Our Service Fee: $99
Total Cost: $349
That’s it. No hidden fees. You’re good to go!
Important Tip: Beware of Scams
Some fake agencies charge $500+ just for filing — without even offering real protection or search.
Stick with trusted platforms that offer transparent pricing, real customer support, and attorney-backed services.
