We search, prepare and file
A knockout search, the application for you to review and sign, then filing and your serial number.
What the flat fee includes
For one mark in one class:
- A knockout search of USPTO records for identical and closely similar marks, with a short written report
- Choosing the right class and the description of your goods or services, using USPTO-approved wording where it fits
- Choosing the filing basis (already in use, or intent to use) and reviewing your proof of use
- Preparing the application and sending it to you to review and sign through the USPTO
- Filing it, and sending you the serial number
- Watching the USPTO record and telling you when the USPTO acts or a deadline comes up
Price
| Flat fee per application (one mark, one class) | $750 |
| USPTO filing fee per class (paid to the USPTO) | $350 |
| Total for one mark in one class | $1,100 |
| Optional: full clearance search with written opinion (USPTO, state records and common-law use), per mark | $950 |
USPTO fees are set by the USPTO and may change. The flat fee is held in trust and earned in two parts: when the application is ready for your signature, and when it is filed.
Later work — fees you know in advance
After filing, the USPTO may raise issues, and keeping a registration alive takes further filings. These are not part of the flat fee. If any is needed, we tell you first and do it only with your OK.
