This is the big question we ask ourselves before registering a trademark.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The price of a <strong>brand<\/strong> depends on the designated countries or set of territories. The number of classes of goods and services covered is also important. We mention here only the official fees of the offices, not including the <a href=\"http:\/\/depot-de-marque.com\/en\/register-a-trademark\/\">fees of the Industrial Property Attorney<\/a>. Depositing online often costs less. What are the fees for a French trademark, a Community trademark and an international trademark? What are the prices of the main national trademarks?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the price of a French brand?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The cost of such a deposit of <strong>brand<\/strong> results from the number of classes of goods and services selected. The tariffs are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For a paper application: 250 euros if goods and\/or services from one, two or three classes are concerned;<\/li>\n<li>For electronic filing (most common): 210 euros when designating goods and\/or services resulting from one, two or three classes ;<\/li>\n<li>Per additional class: EUR 42 per class of additional goods and\/or services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, here is the calculation to be carried out to file a French trademark online in 5 classes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deposit: 210 euros (for the first three classes) ;<\/li>\n<li>Two additional classes: 42 x 2 = 84 euros ;<\/li>\n<li>That is a total cost of : 294 euros.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The royalties must also be paid on the day of filing with the INPI or on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inpi.fr\/fr\/services-et-prestations\/depot-de-marque-en-ligne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Office website.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is also possible to extend the protection of the French trademark to the European Union with the European trademark.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the cost of an EU brand?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This <strong>brand<\/strong> is protected in the 28 countries of the European Union. The rates to be known for this unique title are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tax for the 1<sup>era<\/sup> class : 850 euros ;<\/li>\n<li>Second class : 50 euros ;<\/li>\n<li>For the third and subsequent classes: 150 euros per class.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/euipo.europa.eu\/ohimportal\/fr\/fees-and-payments#fee-calculatorModal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tax calculator<\/a> of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) gives a clear idea of the fees to be paid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/depot-de-marque.com\/en\/brand-guide\/registering-a-european-trademark\/\">Learn more about the European Trademark<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is also possible to designate the European Union in an international trademark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How much does an international brand cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An international deposit can be made at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for countries that are members of the Madrid System.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is necessary to file the <strong>brand<\/strong> in each desired country. This international registration must also be based on a French trademark.<\/p>\n<p>The price of the international brand depends on the designated countries. Each country thus has distinct fees. An application in a class covering, for example, the European Union, the United States, Japan and China amounts to approximately 2,000 euros in WIPO fees.<\/p>\n<p>We retain only the basic prices here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A fee to be paid to the INPI for the processing of the file and its transmission to the WIPO: 60 euros;<\/li>\n<li>A basic fee of 653 Swiss Francs paid for 10 years for a black and white reproduction. The fee is 903 Swiss Francs for a colour trademark;<\/li>\n<li>An individual fee for each country, which may be a flat fee of 100 Swiss Francs (e.g. China or Switzerland), or a country-specific fee (e.g. CHF 388 per class for the USA, and CHF 233 per class for South Korea).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wipo.int\/madrid\/fr\/madrid_simulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tax simulator<\/a> help in calculating emoluments.
