If the USPTO has issued an office action and you have chosen to amend your application to comply with the examiner's requirements, occasional costs may arise.

Since January 18, 2025, the USPTO has updated its fees, replacing TEAS Plus and TEAS Standard with a single $350 per-class application fee. Additional surcharges now apply, including a $100 fee per class for missing required details, a $200 fee per class for using custom descriptions instead of pre-approved ones, and a $200 fee per class for excessive character length in descriptions. To avoid extra costs, applicants should ensure complete and accurate filings.

Besides government fees, keep in mind that if you're using the services of a trademark attorney or a law firm, their fee will also apply.
