The overall cost of registering a distinctive sign (brand, logo, tradename) is not very high, especially compared with other activities that typically require a trademark (such as, development, marketing or advertising, etc.). Further, it is important to keep in mind that, if granted, a trademark is protected for at least 10 years.
inmentor lawyers always provide a clear and precise (as far as possible) cost estimate in advance to suit customer needs.
Usually estimates include the following:
Official fees
In order to register a trademark it is necessary to pay certain official fees, established by the legislator or other competent body. The actual amount payable varies depending on, for example:
- the country or geographical area in which the trademark is to be registered (each state sets its own rates);
- the number of classes of products or services included in the trademark application;
- if a “union” priority is claimed;
- the urgency of the application.
Normally, the fees must be paid at the time the application is submitted. However, sometimes they can only be accurately calculated when the registration procedure reaches a specific stage of processing (for instance, upon decision to grant or before examination).
