What additional fees will I need to pay to file and process a trademark application with the USPTO?

Additional fees are charged if you provide insufficient information in your application. There is also an extra charge if you use the free-form text box instead of the Trademark ID Manual to identify goods and services.

If you use the free-form text box instead of the Trademark ID Manual, you are allowed up to 1,000 characters. Each additional group of up to 1,000 characters will require the payment of additional fees.

If you file an application to register a trademark with the USPTO based on intent to use rather than use, it will be necessary to pay an additional fee per class to file a Statement of Use or an Amendment to Allege Use.

A request for an extension of time to file a Statement of Use requires the payment of an additional fee per class.

A request to divide an application requires the payment of an additional fee per new application created.

Each request for an extension of time to file a response to an Office Action requires payment of a fee.

In addition to basic and additional USPTO filing fees, an attorney normally will require the payment of a fee for his or her services.
