So, filing for a trademark seems difficult to do yourself, and you are correct, it is very difficult if you don't have experience in the field. However, that is what intellectual property lawyers are here for, to help you register your trademark. But, how much do these lawyers cost?
The cost to have a law firm and/or filing service file for a trademark on your behalf typically ranges from $149 to well over $3000 depending upon the size of the firm or company and the level of experience they retain in the trademark arena.
The obvious expense to using a law firm or filing service is the additional costs involved in employing the same. The benefits, however, typically far outweigh the burden of the costs insofar as a skilled firm can not only reduce or minimize the costs involved as referenced above but also retain invaluable experience in what can be a complex system to garner a U.S. Trademark Registration.
Moreover, as the USPTO's filing fees are non-refundable most consumers prefer the added confidence of knowing that their application is being prepared and prosecuted by a seasoned professional.
