Pre-filing search: USD310
Request for registration: USD800

TOTAL: USD1,360

Example 2: One mark two classes
If you want 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 trademark pre-filing search, registration request and certificate are:

Pre-filing search: 310 + 310 = USD620
Request for registration: 800 + 800 = USD1,600
Final registration/Certificate: 250 + 250 = USD500
TOTAL: USD2,720

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