Attorney flat fees, per application (up to three classes included):

• Word mark: $1,095
• Logo or icon: $1,295
• Slogan or tagline: $1,050
• Four-mark bundle (word mark, logo, icon, and slogan, filed as four applications): $4,495

USPTO fees are charged per class: $350 per class using Trademark ID Manual identifications, or $550 per class when a custom identification is required.

Example totals:

• Four-mark bundle, one class each: $5,895 with ID Manual identifications, or up to $6,695 with custom identifications.
• Four-mark bundle, two classes each: $7,295 with ID Manual identifications, or up to $8,895 with custom identifications.

Ideal For:

• Businesses in any industry protecting a new or existing brand name, logo, icon, or tagline.
• Brands that need protection in more than one class, since the attorney fee stays the same from one class to three.
• Startups reserving rights before launch on an intent-to-use basis, and established businesses whose marks are already in use.
• Clients who want a fixed budget from search through registration, with no hourly billing.
• Companies filing one mark now and adding more later at the same published rates.

Includes:

• A comprehensive search report for each mark, prepared by the firm.
  • Word marks and slogans are searched for identical and similar marks in USPTO records, all 50 state trademark registries, common-law sources, business names, domain names, and app stores where relevant.
  • Logos and icons are searched by USPTO design code for visually similar marks.
  • The search covers every class in the application at no added attorney fee.
• A written attorney clearance opinion for each mark, with a risk rating (low, moderate, or high), the closest conflicts identified, and a recommendation on whether to proceed.
• Class strategy for up to three classes per application, with identifications of goods and services drafted from the USPTO ID Manual wherever an accurate entry exists.
• A custom identification when no ID Manual entry fits, drafted at no extra attorney fee and kept under 1,000 characters per class.
• Advice on the filing basis: intent-to-use (§ 1(b)) or use-based (§ 1(a)).
• Preparation and electronic filing of one application per mark.
• Drawing review for logos and icons, including the color-claim decision and a written description of the mark.
• Specimen review for use-based filings.
• Firm coverage of the USPTO insufficient-information surcharge ($100 per class). If that surcharge is ever assessed on the application, the firm pays it.
• Filing receipt, docketing of every USPTO deadline, and status reporting through the first USPTO action.
• A brand-usage memo covering ™ and ® use and specimen guidance.

Excludes:

• Office action responses, available as fixed-fee add-ons, per application:
  • Non-substantive response: $260.
  • Substantive response (likelihood of confusion, descriptiveness, or failure to function): $1,095.
• Statements of Use and Amendments to Allege Use: $225 per application, plus the USPTO fee of $150 per class.
• Statement of Use extension requests: $95 per application, plus the USPTO fee of $125 per class.
• Trademark watch: $260 per mark per year.
• USPTO free-form surcharges ($200 per class) and excess-character surcharges ($200 per additional 1,000 characters, per class). These apply only when needed, and they are disclosed and quoted in writing before filing.
• Applications with four or more classes, which are quoted in writing before engagement.
• Foreign and Madrid Protocol filings.
• Oppositions, cancellations, Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) appeals, cease-and-desist letters, and litigation.
• Logo design, entity formation, IP assignments, and copyright registration.
• Rebrand analysis, or searches on replacement marks after a high-risk result.
• Patent and design patent work.

Deliverables:

• A comprehensive search report for each mark, with the full results delivered to the client.
• A written clearance opinion for each mark, with a risk rating and a recommendation.
• A written fee confirmation before filing, showing the USPTO fees and any surcharges for each class.
• A filed USPTO application for each mark that clears, with its serial number and filing receipt.
• A deadline docket report.
• A brand-usage and specimen-guidance memo.

Assumptions and Limitations:

• Each attorney fee covers one mark in one application, with up to three classes.
• USPTO fees are charged per class, and they are billed at cost with no markup.
• If a search report returns a high-risk result, the client may stop before filing. In that case, the firm refunds the unused USPTO fees and $300 of the attorney fee for that mark.
• The applicant entity exists and owns the mark, including the rights to any logo or icon artwork, before filing.
• Logo and icon artwork is final when the search is ordered. If the artwork changes after the search, a new search is required and is quoted in writing.
• Classes cannot be added to an application after it is filed. Adding a class later requires a new application at the published rate.
• Custom identifications are used only when no ID Manual entry accurately covers the goods or services. The client is told in writing which classes need one before approving the filing.
• USPTO fees and surcharges are set by the USPTO, and the fees in effect on the filing date apply. If a fee changes after the client has been quoted, the client is notified before filing.
• Search reports and opinions reduce risk but cannot guarantee registration or reveal every prior user, because some users never register their marks.
• Slogans often receive failure-to-function refusals. The filing fee does not guarantee registration.

Scope-Change Triggers:

• A request for additional marks, a fourth or later class in an application, or foreign filings.
• A request to add classes after filing, which requires a new application.
• A request for identifications broader than the firm’s recommended wording, including wording that exceeds 1,000 characters in a class.
• A high-risk search result, when the client wants a rebrand strategy, a coexistence approach, or a search on a replacement mark.
• Changes to the artwork, the goods and services, or ownership after the search is ordered.
• A third-party opposition, letter of protest, or demand letter.
• A request for filing faster than the listed turnaround.

Typical Turnaround:

• Search started: within 2 business days of intake.
• Search report and clearance opinion delivered: 7–12 business days after the search starts.
• Application filed: 3–5 business days after the client approves the filing and all required information is received.
• First USPTO action: typically several months after filing. The USPTO controls this timeline.

Client Responsibilities:

• Provide the applicant’s legal name, entity type, and address.
• Provide final logo and icon artwork in high-resolution JPG or PNG format.
• Describe all current and planned goods and services, so every needed class is included before filing.
• Disclose any existing use, including first-use dates and where the mark appears.
• Confirm ownership of the mark and the artwork, including assignments from founders or designers.
• Review and approve each filing, including the fee confirmation, within 5 business days.
• Keep dated specimens showing use, and notify the firm promptly of brand changes or third-party contact about the mark.

Check the exact scope before paying

• Review the product’s current fee, prerequisites, and exclusions.
• Any custom or expanded work needs a separate written scope and fee.
• Representation begins after conflicts clear and a signed engagement letter is in place.
