The filing fee for a use-in-commerce trademark application in the US is $350 per class.

This fee applies to applications where the trademark is already in active commercial use in the US market at the time of filing. A use-in-commerce application does not require a Statement of Use, so no additional fee is incurred after filing.

Please note this is the government fee paid directly to the USPTO. If you file through a representative, additional fees for their services will apply. Non-US applicants are required by law to use a licensed US attorney.
