If you're building a business or launching a product, trademarking your brand is something you shouldn't overlook. A trademark protects your brand name, logo, slogan, or even packaging, anything that distinguishes your product or service from others.

If you’re serious about protecting your brand, trademarking is key — but it’s not always cheap. You’re looking at around $250–$350 just to file with the USPTO per class, but total costs can climb to $1,000 or more if you hire an attorney or need help with paperwork. And that’s just the trademark if you’re also setting up an LLC or other legal protections, that adds extra fees depending on your state.

Yes, it’s not cheap, but trademarking is worth it if you’re serious about your brand. The upfront cost can save you way bigger headaches down the line.

that’s correct. You will also be looking at yearly renewal costs for your llc as well along with yearly taxes for it.

Also,

• File an annual report for your LLC
• Pay annual fees
• File taxes every year, even if you didn’t make any money

This will also keep everything flowing for your trademark and llc.

If it’s better, you can go with a lawyer to handle everything for you, but it will be a tad bit more expensive, but worth it. That way you don’t have to deal with it.

That's correct. If you can afford, do it. It's best to start off by registering your brand as a business and an LLC, which will give you protections as well.

The major issue here is the cost of doing this, especially for a small and growing business, this is usually pretty expensive, hence most don't do it.
