Class 42 questions
How much does it cost to file in class 42?
The USPTO charges $350 per class. With us it's $200 on top, so $550 for one class.
Can I file in more than one class?
Yes, if you sell things in more than one. Each extra class adds $350 in USPTO fees.
What if I pick the wrong class?
You can't move a filing to a class that widens what it covers, so getting it right before you file matters. Our form suggests classes from what you sell, and the attorney reviews them.
