Filing in Class 17
Limited to raw or semi-processed material form — extruded plastic sheet, insulating tape, sealing compound — not finished plastic products, which are classified by what the finished item actually is (a plastic chair is Class 20, a plastic toy is Class 28). This narrowness is why it's one of the lower-volume classes at the USPTO.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 17 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 17 often also need Class 6 (Common metals) and Class 19 (Building materials) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
