Filing in Class 10
Trademark registration here is independent of FDA device clearance — the two processes run on separate tracks and neither is a prerequisite for the other, which surprises applicants who assume they need 510(k) clearance before they can even apply. Diagnostic software (an app that interprets scan results, say) can straddle this class and Class 9/42 depending on whether it's a standalone device or software feature.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 10 is billed the same as every other class. Standard base fee under the 2025 fee schedule, filed via the USPTO Trademark Center. To keep that base fee, use pre-approved wording from the USPTO’s ID Manual to describe your goods rather than a custom description, which triggers a surcharge. See the full USPTO fee schedule for current figures.
In practice, businesses filing in Class 10 often also need Class 5 (Pharmaceuticals) and Class 44 (Medical & wellness) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
