3. The official fee for filing stage:
** For designated goods in Classes 1 to 34: if the designated goods within the same class are 20 items or fewer, the official fee per class is US$100; if the number of designated goods within the same class exceeds 20, an additional US$10 will be charged for each extra item.
** For designated retail services of specific goods in Class 35: if 5 items or fewer are designated, the official fee for this class is USD 100; if more than 5 items are designated, an additional USD 20 will be charged for each extra designated retail service in this class. However, for other non-retail services in Class 35, there is no limit on the number of designated items.

4. If a new trademark application proceeds smoothly after submission for official examination and the approval notice is issued directly, in this case, no additional service fee for the response stage will be required.
5. The service fee for preparing and filing a response to an office action is not included in this schedule and will be provided as a separate quotation if needed. Since the reasons for refusal differ for each application, the fee will depend on the complexity and difficulty of the application. Generally, this service costs between USD 150 and USD 250.
6. A charge of USD 50 for miscellaneous office expenses and bank handling fees will be applied per invoice.
7. You may use the “™” symbol once the application is filed, and the “®” symbol only after the registration has been granted.
