About this calculator
USPTO trademark applications are filed per class of goods/services, and the government fee is charged per class, currently $250-$350 per class depending on the filing basis (TEAS Standard vs. the discontinued TEAS Plus distinction was consolidated into a single base application fee structure with surcharges for incomplete applications). Registering a mark in three classes at $350 each costs $1,050 in government fees alone before any legal help. Attorney fees for search, filing, and prosecution of a single-class application typically run $1,000-$2,500, and most applications face at least one office action, adding $500-$1,500 per response. This calculator multiplies the per-class fee by your number of classes, adds attorney fees, and factors in expected office actions to give a realistic total to register a trademark from filing to registration.

FAQ
Why file in multiple classes?
Trademark classes cover specific categories of goods or services (class 25 for clothing, class 41 for entertainment services, etc.), and protection only extends to the classes you register in. A clothing brand that also sells online courses needs two classes to cover both lines of business.
What's the difference between filing 'intent to use' and 'in use'?
An intent-to-use application lets you reserve a mark before you've launched, but requires an additional Statement of Use filing (with its own $150-per-class fee) once you actually start using it in commerce, adding cost and complexity compared to filing when you're already using the mark.
Do I need a lawyer to file a trademark?
It's not required, but a proper clearance search before filing catches conflicting marks that would get your application rejected after you've already paid the fee and waited months. Many self-filed applications fail on basic issues a $200 search would have caught.
How long does registration take?
Current USPTO timelines run 12-18 months from filing to registration for applications that face no complications, longer if there's an office action or opposition period issue. Budget attorney costs across that whole window, not just the initial filing.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
- Rates are treated as fixed for the whole period — variable-rate products will drift from this projection.
- This is educational maths, not financial advice. Check anything contractual with the lender or your accountant.
