Why does the total cost vary?

  • Each application covers one class. Two classes mean two applications and two sets of fees.
  • A name and a logo are separate applications.
  • Replying to objections or an opposition can add professional fees.

How to keep trademark fees down

Register only the classes you use now. Search first so you do not pay for an application that will be refused. See trademark classes in Pakistan (Nice classification) and how to register a trademark in Pakistan.

Worked example: government fees for one and two classes

Using the reported figures, one class costs Rs 3,000 to file and Rs 9,000 to register, so Rs 12,000 in government fees. Two classes cost Rs 24,000. Professional fees and renewal are extra. Confirm current fees with IPO-Pakistan before budgeting.
