Types of trademark registration fees

Understanding the various types of trademarks and their associated fees is crucial for businesses. The fees are generally divided into government fees and attorney or professional fees.

Government fee

The government fee is the official charge levied by the trademark office for processing and registering a trademark. This includes the application, examination, registration, and renewal fees. The government fee ensures that the trademark registration process is legally recognised and documented by the relevant authorities.

Attorney fee or professional fee

The attorney fee or professional fee refers to the charges levied by legal professionals or trademark agents who assist in the trademark registration process. These fees cover services such as conducting a trademark search, filing the application, responding to office actions, and representing the applicant during the registration process. The professional fee ensures that the application is correctly prepared and managed, increasing the likelihood of successful registration.

Important considerations when estimating trademark fees

  • Fees apply per class: The mentioned fees are charged for each trademark class. If your trademark spans multiple classes of goods or services, you must pay separately for each.
  • Government vs. professional fees: The costs shown are official government fees and do not include the service charges of trademark agents or legal professionals.
  • Filing method: E-filing is usually more affordable and quicker than submitting a physical application.

Learn how to check trademark status

Checking the trademark status application is essential for tracking its progress and ensuring timely responses to any office actions. The trademark status can be checked online through the official trademark office website by entering the application number. This status check helps in understanding whether the trademark is under examination, accepted, opposed, or registered. Additionally, once the trademark is registered, businesses can download the trademark certificate from the same portal. Staying updated on the trademark status is crucial for maintaining the legal protection of the mark.

Conclusion

Trademark registration is a critical step for protecting a business's brand identity. Understanding the fees associated with trademark registration, including government and professional fees, can help in planning and budgeting for this important process. Regularly checking the trademark status and ensuring timely renewals further safeguard the trademark rights. By securing a trademark, businesses can enhance their market position and gain easier access to business loans for growth and expansion.
