Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to trademark a name in the UK?
UK trademark registration costs £205 in official UK IPO fees for one class when you file online, plus £60 for each additional class. There are no annual or maintenance fees during the 10-year registration period. These are government fees only and do not include optional attorney costs.
Is it cheaper to file a trademark in the UK or EU?
For a single country, the UK is cheaper — £205 versus €850 at the EUIPO. However, an EU trademark covers all 27 EU member states at once, making it far better value if you need pan-European protection. Filing in both the UK and EU costs roughly £205 + €850 combined, depending on exchange rates.
Are there any annual or ongoing trademark fees?
No. UK and EU trademarks have no annual or maintenance fees. You pay once to register and the mark is protected for 10 years. After that you renew every 10 years — in the UK that is £245 plus £60 for each additional class.
How much does it cost to register a trademark in more than one class?
You pay £205 for the first class and £60 for each additional class. For example, two classes cost £265 and three classes cost £325. Only file in the classes of goods or services you genuinely need, as each extra class adds cost without widening protection beyond those goods and services.
Do I need a trademark attorney, and how much do they charge?
An attorney is optional — you can file directly with the UK IPO yourself for the £205 official fee. If you choose professional help, attorney fees typically range from £500 to £2,000 depending on complexity, and can be worthwhile if your mark is borderline or likely to face opposition.
How much does it cost to register a trademark in the US?
The USPTO charges per class of goods or services: from $250 per class under the TEAS Standard option, or $350 per class under TEAS Plus, which has stricter requirements. Unlike the UK, US registrations also require periodic maintenance filings to keep the mark active.
What is the total, all-in cost to register a trademark?
If you file yourself after a free search, the all-in cost can be just the £205 official UK IPO fee for one class. A fuller budget might add an optional clearance report and attorney fees of £500 to £2,000. The biggest single saving is searching thoroughly before you file, because filing fees are non-refundable if your application is refused.
How much does it cost to renew a UK trademark?
UK trademark renewal costs £245 plus £60 for each additional class, payable every 10 years. EU (EUIPO) renewal costs €850 plus €150 for each additional class. There is nothing to pay in between renewals.
Is a trademark search free, and why does it matter for cost?
Yes — Trademark Dashboard offers a free UK trademark search, whereas a solicitor-run search typically costs £300 to £1,500. Searching first matters because UK IPO filing fees are non-refundable: if an identical or confusingly similar mark already exists, a £205 application can be refused or opposed with no refund.
Are these the official fees?
Yes. A maintained table of each office's official filing and renewal fees, each carrying a last-verified date.
