Common questions
How much does a trademark application cost?
Our fee for a standard U.S. application is $995, plus the USPTO filing fee of $350 per class. Searches, office action responses and renewals are listed on our fee schedule.
How long does trademark registration take?
The USPTO reports an average of about 10 months from filing, depending on its backlog and whether the examiner raises issues.
When do I need to renew?
A maintenance declaration is due between the 5th and 6th year after registration, then a combined declaration and renewal every 10 years.
Do I need a trademark for Amazon Brand Registry?
Yes. Amazon requires a pending application or an active registration for a word mark, or a design mark that includes words, from a government trademark office, and the trademark owner must be the one who enrolls. Filing the application is the first step.
