Filing in Class 18
Umbrellas and walking sticks sit in this class alongside bags and leather goods, a historical grouping rather than a material one (an umbrella has nothing to do with leather). Clothing brands that also sell bags routinely file here in addition to Class 25 rather than assuming one filing covers both.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 18 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 18 often also need Class 25 (Clothing & footwear) and Class 14 (Jewelry & watches) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
