Question 1

Do I need a USPTO account to file a trademark?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every trademark application is filed through a free MyUSPTO.gov account with two-factor authentication turned on. You create it once and use it for the life of your mark.

Question 2

How much does a trademark cost at the USPTO?

Accepted Answer

The base filing fee is $350 per class of goods or services on the TEAS Plus form when you meet its requirements. Additional classes cost $350 each. There is no fee to open a USPTO account or to run a trademark search.

Question 3

Can I file a USPTO trademark myself without an attorney?

Accepted Answer

If you live in the United States, yes, the USPTO allows individual and small-business owners to file on their own. An attorney is required only for filers based outside the U.S., or when you receive a substantive office action or an opposition. Chris Mendez, IP paralegal with 30+ years of experience.
