Official fees

Official fees, shown separately

At OSIM, official fees depend on the mark type (word, black-and-white or colour figurative) and the number of classes. At EUIPO they depend only on the number of classes. We check them on the official sites and update them when the offices change them.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about costs

How much does registering a trademark cost, and what does the listed price include?

Our fee for an OSIM filing is RON 1,850 + VAT with one Nice class included, plus RON 146 + VAT for each extra class. It is the same for every mark type. For EUIPO, the fee is EUR 700 + VAT with one class included, plus EUR 50 + VAT per extra class. Official fees are paid separately and carry no VAT. Responses to refusals and oppositions are billed at EUR 120 / hour + VAT.

What are official fees, and why is there no VAT on them?

Official fees are what the office (OSIM, EUIPO or WIPO) charges for filing, examination, publication and the certificate. They are administrative charges collected by the office, so there is no VAT on them. At OSIM they depend on the mark type (word, black-and-white or colour figurative) and on the number of classes; at EUIPO, only on the number of classes. Current amounts, linked to the official source, are on the Official fees page. Offices can change them.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. Your first conversation with us costs nothing. You tell us about your name or logo, where you sell and what you have planned, and we explain your protection options and the costs to expect. It is the only free service: everything else, from availability searches to filing and trademark watch, is paid. Our fees are on the Costs page, and you can ask for a quote for anything not listed.

Why does the cost go up with each extra class?

Each Nice class covers one category of goods or services, and protection only reaches the classes listed in the application. The offices charge for classes beyond those included, and we add a small fee per extra class: RON 146 + VAT at OSIM and EUR 50 + VAT at EUIPO. So it pays to choose the classes you use or will use, rather than every class that looks related.

Let’s talk about your trademark.

The first consultation is free. We’ll tell you honestly what can be protected, how and what it costs, before you pay anything.
