What the price includes
The USPTO fee pays for the government to review your application for one class. Attorney or service fees pay for the name search, the filing, and help with replies. They often do not cover office action replies, a statement of use, or upkeep filings. Ask which of these are in the package. It does not include tax or extras the provider adds on the day.
Who charges this and how it is billed
The USPTO charges the government fee for each class. Trademark attorneys and online filing services charge their own fee for the search and the filing. Some bill a flat price, and Surge Law bills in monthly steps over 12 months. Extra work like replies to the USPTO may cost more, and Cohn Legal says it ranges from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. SecureYourTrademark lists online services at $649 to $899 and attorneys at $800 to $2,000, both plus the government fee. Ask what the flat price covers and what is billed apart.
When you need this
Register a trademark when you want to protect a business name, logo, or slogan across the country. It helps you stop others from using a close copy. Do it before you spend a lot on signs, packaging, or a website. Run a search first so you know the name is free to use.

- Ask for a flat fee package. Surge Law lets you pay in monthly steps, and a fixed quote makes it easier to plan.
- Search before you file. A clearance search costs $300 to $600 per Cohn Legal, and it can show you problems before you pay the filing fee.
- File only the classes you need now. Each added class costs $395 per Surge Law, so start with your main goods or services.
- Compare at least three quotes. SecureYourTrademark lists attorneys at $800 to $2,000 plus government fees, which is a wide gap.
