Calculation of Registration Costs

Example 1: One mark one class
If you want to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, one mark one class, the total fees for trademark pre-filing search, registration request and certificate are:

Pre-filing search: USD320
Request for registration: USD900
Final registration/Certificate: USD560
TOTAL: USD1,780

Example 2: 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:

Pre-filing searches: 320 + 320 = USD640
Request for registrations: 900 + 900 = USD1,800
Final registrations/Certificates: 560 + 560 = USD1,120
TOTAL: USD3,560

The costs illustrated in the examples above are based on the assumption of a smooth application, that is, no objection being raised by DPDT or any other third party. Also, the costs stated above exclude courier charges for sending the Power of Attorney and delivery of Certificate of Registration upon acceptance of registration.
