Fees
A flat fee to prepare the application. USPTO fees on top.
Our attorney fee to prepare a U.S. trademark application is a flat fee, and we quote it before any work begins. That is the legal work. USPTO filing fees are separate: they are paid to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, charged per class of goods or services, and can include surcharges depending on how the goods or services are identified.
