A “registered trademark”, or ®, refers to a name, slogan or logo that has been officially registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The total time it takes to get a registered trademark, due to the US
Patent and Trademark Office policies, can be between 9-16 months.
It costs $225 (per class of goods/services) to register a federal trademark. Services typically charge an additional $100 – $300 to prepare and file the trademark application for you. A trademark search is typically done as a separate service before the trademark application is filed.
