Example 1: One mark one class
If you want to apply to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, one mark one class, the total fees for both trademark pre-filing search and registration request and certificate are:


Pre-filing search: USD300

TOTAL: USD2,404


Example 2: One mark two classes
If you want to apply to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear) and Class 26 (Lace and embroidery, ribbons and braid; buttons, hooks and eyes, pins and needles; artificial flowers), that is, one mark two classes, the total fees for both trademark pre-filing search and registration request and certificate are:


Pre-filing search: USD300 + USD300 = USD600
Request for registration: USD1,726 + USD403 = USD2,129

TOTAL: USD3,107


Example 3: Two marks one class
If you want to apply to have your trademarks "ABC" and "DEF" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, two marks one class, the total fees for both trademark pre-filing searches and registration requests and certificates are:


Pre-filing search: USD300 + USD300 = USD600
Request for registration: USD1,726 + USD1,726 = USD3,452
Final registration/Certificate: USD378 + USD378 = USD756
