Tips for Starting a Trademark Filing Business in South Carolina

  • 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.
  • Median income sits at $44,189. Price sensitivity is real. Build your model around volume or keep overhead minimal.
