Filing in Class 11
This class is defined by the utility being supplied — light, heat, cold, or water/air treatment — rather than by product category, so it spans everything from lightbulbs to refrigerators to water filtration systems under one heading. Smart-home versions of these appliances often need a companion Class 9 filing for the connected-app or control-software component.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 11 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 11 often also need Class 7 (Machinery) and Class 20 (Furniture) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
