Trademark Renewal Cost Calculator — United States

USPTO fees (2024) are $225 per class for the Section 8 Declaration of Use (due between years 5 and 6) and $525 per class for the combined Section 8 and 9 renewal (due every 10 years). A 6-month grace period adds a $100 per-class surcharge. Attorney fees, if used, are additional.

Section 8 is a Declaration of Continued Use proving you still use the mark; it is filed between years 5–6 and again with each renewal. Section 9 is the actual renewal application that extends the registration for another 10 years. After the first Section 8, they are filed together as a combined Section 8 and 9 every 10 years.

Yes. Unlike Canada, the USPTO requires a specimen showing the mark in actual use in commerce for each class, along with the Section 8 declaration. If you cannot show use for some goods or services, you must delete them or the registration can be cancelled for those items.

There is a 6-month grace period after each deadline during which you can file with a $100-per-class surcharge. If you miss the grace period, the registration is cancelled or expires and cannot be revived — you would have to file a brand-new application and lose your original priority date.
