Your brand is worth protecting. But you may worry about the cost. Here is the good news: a federal trademark is more affordable than most people think. The key is to file it right the first time. This guide breaks down the costs and shows how to save.
At Secure Mark USA, we make brand protection simple. We file your federal trademark from $99 plus the USPTO fee. Here is what you pay, and how to keep costs down.
A trademark has two main costs. One is the government fee. The other is the service fee.
The USPTO charges a fee to file your application. You file through the USPTO Trademark Center. The fee is $350 per class. A “class” is a category of goods or services. For example, clothing is one class. Cosmetics is another. If your brand covers two classes, you pay the fee twice. This fee is the same for everyone.
You can file on your own. But a filing service is worth it. Here is why:
Our service starts at $99, plus the USPTO fee. See our full cost breakdown.
True affordability means avoiding costly mistakes. Here is how:
Not protecting your brand can cost far more. Here is what is at stake:
A trademark is like insurance for your most valuable asset: your brand.
You do not have to figure this out alone. We keep brand protection clear and affordable. We run a thorough search. We prepare your application with care. We handle office actions. You get strong, nationwide protection.

The base application fee is $350 per class. You file through the USPTO Trademark Center. The fee applies to each class of goods or services.
No. You also pay to keep your mark active. A maintenance filing is due between years 5 and 6. After that, you renew every 10 years.
