Does the cost of trademark registration depend on the number of classes?

Written by Jan Buza

Yes, the total cost varies based on the number of overall classes included, since each class of goods and services is charged separately.

The exact fee structure varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some IP offices, like the US, charge a flat additional fee for each additional class; others use stepped pricing, where the second and third classes are priced differently from subsequent classes. The EUIPO, for example, charges a lower fee for the second class and a higher rate from the third onward.
