Plan your full USPTO investment
before our strategy session.
Our trademark packages include attorney fees plus one classification's filing fee. If you're protecting a brand that lives in multiple categories — or planning a launch — this calculator will estimate your additional government fees in about ninety seconds.
What will your trademark actually cost?
Answer four quick questions. We'll show you both the USPTO government fees and our attorney fees — with no surprises.
What are you trademarking?
Pick the option that best describes what you want to protect. You can always adjust this with us during your strategy session.
How many categories do you sell in?
The USPTO groups goods and services into 45 "classes." Most founders need just one or two. Not sure? Pick 1 — we'll confirm during your strategy session.
Are you already using this brand?
If you've launched and are selling, that's one path. If you're protecting the name before launch, that's another — with a few extra USPTO fees down the line.
When will you launch?
After filing, you get a six-month window to start selling. Need more time? Each additional six months requires a $125 extension request per class. We'll estimate yours.
Here's what to plan for.
USPTO fees go to the government. Attorney fees cover everything we do to get you registered.
Add your attorney fees
Based on what you selected, this is the package most founders in your position choose.
Three fees, three timelines.
The USPTO charges in stages — here's what each fee covers, so you know what you're seeing in your estimate.
The Application Fee
Charged once per classification at the moment of filing. This is the only USPTO fee for founders who are already using their brand in commerce.
The Launch Fee
Charged when you officially confirm to the USPTO that you've launched. Only applies to intent-to-use filings, paid after Notice of Allowance.
The Time Fee
Charged for each additional six-month extension beyond the initial launch window. Only applies if your launch timeline extends past 18 months from filing.
