Fee: $350 per class of goods/services.

After you submit your application

Your trademark will not be registered automatically. In approximately three months, your application will be assigned to a USPTO examining attorney for review. Review the application process timelines and other important things to know after you file.

To be sure that you don't miss an important email from us, and to avoid the possible abandonment of your application, you must periodically check your application status and review your documents in our database, Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR), every 3-6 months.
