Filing in Class 13
Federal trademark registration in this class is unaffected by state-level firearm sales restrictions — the USPTO evaluates the mark, not the applicant's ability to sell the product in every state. Fireworks and pyrotechnics share this class with firearms and ammunition because the Nice system groups them by explosive/propellant nature.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 13 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 13 often also need Class 28 (Toys & sporting goods) and Class 45 (Legal & security) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
