Start With a Trademark Search

Searching similar marks before filing can uncover potential conflicts. A search is not a guarantee that a mark will register.

STEP 1

Identify Your Mark

Decide whether you want to protect wording, a stylized/design mark, or another eligible trademark format and identify the actual owner.

STEP 2

Search Similar Trademarks

Use the USPTO trademark database to look for similar wording or designs used with related goods or services.

Search USPTO Trademarks →
STEP 3

Goods & Services

Identify what you sell or provide and the applicable trademark classes. USPTO application fees are assessed per class.

STEP 4

Filing Basis

Determine whether the mark is already being used in U.S. interstate commerce or whether you have a bona fide intent to use it. Intent-to-use applications require later filings and fees.

STEP 5

Prepare Application Information

Organize owner information, domicile, mark details, goods/services, filing basis and supporting information before filing.

STEP 6

File With the USPTO

The USPTO—not SBDT—examines and decides whether a federal trademark application may register.

Current USPTO fee: The base electronic application filing fee is $350 per class for Section 1 and Section 44 applications that meet the base requirements. Additional USPTO fees can apply depending on the application, and intent-to-use filings require later filings and fees.
Simple, transparent pricing: SBDT Trademark Application Preparation Assistance is $149 for a standard application review and preparation workflow. USPTO government filing fees are separate and are generally charged per class. Your exact quote is reviewed before payment.
