Filing in Class 25
Among the most heavily filed and most heavily disputed classes at the USPTO — apparel names collide often, and this is also one of the most common targets for counterfeit-goods enforcement, so brands here tend to invest more in monitoring after registration, not just at filing. A pure online retail operation selling apparel usually pairs this with Class 35 for the store/e-commerce service.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 25 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 25 often also need Class 35 (Advertising & retail) and Class 18 (Leather & bags) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
