TEAS Plus
This filing option has the lowest filing fee of $225 per class of goods or services, and requires more detailed information at filing. For example, you must include the following information in your application, among other things:
- Your goods and services chosen from the USPTO’s Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual (ID Manual)
- At least one complete filing basis
- Other mark-related information (e.g., a description of the mark and an English translation of any foreign wording in the mark).
- If your application does not meet all of the TEAS Plus filing requirements, you will be required to pay a $125 per class processing fee. From then on, your application will be handled as a TEAS Standard filing option.
TEAS Standard
This filing option has a filing fee of $275 per class of goods or services, and has fewer initial requirements than TEAS Plus. For example, you may write your own descriptions of your goods and services, instead of only using ID Manual entries.
