Registration is not guaranteed. The USPTO makes the final decision and sets its own timeline. That’s why we start with a consultation and a clearance search, so you know the risks before you file.

Classes & Fees, Simplified

One Name Can Need More Than One Class

A trademark protects your name for the specific goods and services you file it for. Here’s how that works, and how filing fees are handled.

CLASS41Coaching & coursesOnline classes, workshops, a podcast
CLASS25ApparelT-shirts, hoodies, hats
Example brandPEAKFORMa fitness creator
CLASS9Digital productsAn app, downloadable e-books
CLASS35Online storeSelling other brands’ gear online

Same name, four ways it’s used. Each class is a separate USPTO filing fee.

What’s a trademark class?i

The USPTO sorts every product and service into 45 classes: 34 for goods and 11 for services. Your registration protects your name only in the classes you file in, so choosing them correctly matters as much as the name itself.

You may need more than one class if you:

  • Sell physical products and offer a service under the same name
  • Sell branded merch alongside your main business
  • Offer digital products (apps, downloads) and live coaching or courses
  • Plan to launch a new product line under the name soon

You don’t have to figure this out alone. On your consultation, your attorney maps your business to the right classes and tells you which ones matter now and which can wait.

Common classes for creators & founders

  • 3
    Beauty & personal careCosmetics, skincare, fragrance
  • 9
    Digital goodsApps, downloadable software, e-books
  • 16
    Printed productsBooks, journals, planners, stationery
  • 25
    ClothingApparel, headwear, footwear
  • 35
    Business & retailOnline stores, marketing, consulting
  • 41
    Education & entertainmentCourses, coaching, events, podcasts
  • 42
    Tech servicesSaaS, online platforms, web apps
  • 43
    Food & hospitalityRestaurants, cafés, catering

These are common examples, not a complete list. Your attorney confirms the right classes for your goods and services.

How filing fees worki

No surprises. You’ll know exactly which classes you’re filing in, and what they cost, before anything is filed.

  • One class filing fee is included$350 IncludedYour flat-fee filing package covers the USPTO filing fee for one class.
  • Additional classes are billed at costEach extra class is charged at the USPTO’s government fee, with no markup.
  • Filing fees are held in trustGovernment filing fees are kept in our attorney trust account until we file your application, and used only for that purpose.
  • Your consultation fee countsHire us within 7 days of your consultation and the fee is credited toward your legal fees.

Before You Book

Questions We Hear Most

Why is the consultation paid?
Because it’s real legal work, not a sales call. You get 45 minutes of an IP attorney’s focused time on your brand: the risks we see, the classes you need, and a clear quote. And if you hire us within 7 days, the full consultation fee is credited toward your legal fees.
Who will I meet with?
One of our IP attorneys, over Zoom. Your Zoom link arrives by email as soon as you book.
What should I have ready for the call?
Nothing formal, but these help us give you a sharper answer:
  • The exact name, logo, or slogan you want to protect
  • What you sell or offer under it, now and in the next year
  • When and where you first started using it
  • Your website and social media links
What happens right after I book?
You’ll get a confirmation email with your Zoom link and a short intake form we use to run a conflict check. Please complete the form at least 1 hour before your consultation. Our intake team will also reach out the day before to confirm your time.
What if someone already has a similar name?
That’s exactly what the consultation and clearance search are for. We tell you about conflicts and risk before anything is filed, so you don’t spend money on an application that’s likely to be refused, and we talk through your options if the name needs adjusting.
Do I need more than one class?
It depends on what you sell under the name. Your flat fee includes the USPTO filing fee for one class, and any additional classes are billed at the USPTO’s cost. Your attorney will recommend only the classes your business actually needs.
