Filing a US federal trademark costs $250–$350 per class of goods/services with the USPTO. With attorney fees, expect $1,000–$2,000+ per class. Most small businesses file 1-2 classes.
The USPTO divides goods and services into 45 Nice classes. You must pay a separate filing fee for each class. Class 25 is clothing, Class 42 is software/tech, Class 41 is education, etc.
The USPTO trademark process typically takes 8–12 months if there are no issues. If an office action is issued, it can take 18-24 months or longer.
US trademarks last 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely. You must file a Section 8 declaration between years 5-6, and renew every 10 years.
