A federal trademark application costs $250-$350 per class through TEAS. That's the USPTO filing fee alone. Attorney fees add $1,000-$2,000.
Run a comprehensive trademark search before filing. The USPTO rejects about 30% of applications, and most rejections are due to likelihood of confusion with existing marks.
State trademark registrations are cheaper ($50-$150) but only protect within that state. Federal registration is worth the premium for any business selling online.
The trademark process takes 8-12 months from filing to registration if nothing goes wrong. If someone opposes, add another 6-12 months.
