Global Trademark Registration Fee
Trademark is one of the core assets of an enterprise. Trademark registration can effectively protect the brand value and intellectual property rights of an enterprise. Trademark registration fees vary from country to country around the world, and the following is an overview of trademark registration fees in some major countries.
The United States is one of the largest economies in the world, and the registration of trademarks is of great significance in the U.S. market. According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the cost of trademark registration depends on the type and manner of application, and generally speaking, the basic registration fee ranges from $225 to $400.
As one of the largest manufacturing bases in the world, China has huge market potential. According to the fee schedule of the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC, the trademark registration fee is RMB1,000 per category.
The European Union is the largest economy and one of the largest export markets in Europe. In the EU, the cost of trademark registration depends on the type and manner of application, and the basic registration fee is around €850 to €900.
Japan is one of the leaders in the field of technology and innovation, and the market attaches great importance to intellectual property rights. According to the Japan Licensing Agency, trademark registration fees range from 10,000 to 30,000 yen.
In addition to the trademark registration fee of a single country, an international trademark registration system exists globally. According to the Madrid Agreement, applicants can register trademarks in multiple member states through a single application, which simplifies the registration process. However, the cost of international trademark registration depends on the country/region and type of application, and needs to be accounted for according to the specific circumstances.
In general, there are some differences in trademark registration fees among countries around the world. When expanding business across the world, enterprises should understand the fee standards of each country in order to formulate a reasonable trademark strategy. At the same time, they can also seek the help of professional intellectual property service organizations to further reduce trademark registration fees and effectively protect their intellectual property rights.
