The base fee for trademark registration in the UK is £170 for online applications and £200 for paper applications. This base fee includes one class of goods and services. Each additional class is £50; a fee for an international application is £40 plus additional WIPO fees.
Please note that these are just the government fees paid directly to the UKIPO. Additional fees will apply if you use a lawyer, a law firm, or an online legal service to file your application.
The UKIPO also offers a Right Start application for a £200 base price. Here, you pay half the fee upfront and receive an examination report prepared directly by the UKIPO. Then, if your mark meets the criteria for registration and you're allowed to proceed in the process, you pay the second half of the fee.
