Costs that can be added
- Extra classes. Both the official fee and our fee are charged per class, so a three-class filing is three times $599.

- Formalities. Specimen of use (packaging, screenshots of a live checkout page, labels)
- Local representation. Foreign-domiciled applicants must be represented by a US-licensed attorney.
