Base application: $350 per class, filed electronically in Trademark Center.
Insufficient information: $100 per class if required details are missing.
Free-form text: $200 per class for writing your own goods and services description instead of using the ID Manual, plus $200 for each extra 1,000 characters per class.
Statement of use: $150 per class, needed for intent-to-use applications once you start using the mark. Each six-month extension costs $125 per class.
Keeping it registered: a Section 8 declaration ($325 per class) between years 5 and 6, then a Section 8 and Section 9 renewal ($325 each per class) every 10 years.
