Trademark class 45: Personal & legal services

Businesses that sell social network, dating, concierge, security service and similar often file in class 45.

Sample wording

Online social networking services; dating services; personal concierge services

Wording from the USPTO's list avoids its $200 per class surcharge for custom text. Your application should only list what you actually sell or plan to sell.

Class 45 questions

How much does it cost to file in class 45?

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.
