How Much Does It Cost to Register a Trademark in the US?
The base government fee for trademark registration is $350 per class of goods or services under the TEAS Plus application with the USPTO (effective January 18, 2025). Additional costs may apply depending on your filing choices:
- $200 surcharge if you use a free-form text box to describe goods/services
- $100 fee if your initial application is incomplete or requires significant correction
- Ongoing costs, such as a $325 Declaration of Continued Use between years 5 and 6

While DIY filings seem cheaper upfront, errors often lead to rejections or added fees. Working with Empire Business Law ensures your application is filed right the first time—saving time, money, and frustration.
How Do I Register My Own Trademark in New Jersey?
You can begin the trademark registration process by:
- Conducting a comprehensive search on the USPTO and across common law databases to ensure your mark is available.
- Identifying the correct class of goods/services and gathering ownership details.
- Creating a USPTO account and submitting your application via the TEAS Plus portal.

However, the process is more complex than it appears. Vague wording, the wrong classification, or existing similar marks can trigger office actions or outright rejection. That’s why businesses turn to Empire Business Law. We streamline every step, so your brand is protected the smart way.
Do I Need an LLC to Get a Trademark in New Jersey?
No—you do not need an LLC to register a trademark. You can file as:

- An individual
- A partnership
- Another type of business entity
That said, if you're operating a formal business or plan to scale, registering the trademark under your LLC can provide clearer asset ownership and transferability. At Empire Business Law, we help clients file under the proper entity—and even assist with LLC formation when needed. You can start as an individual and assign the trademark to your LLC later if your business structure evolves.
