Filing in Class 26
Hair accessories (clips, bows, scrunchies) are classified here alongside sewing notions rather than in Class 25 with clothing, which trips up apparel brands expanding into accessories who assume one class covers the whole product line.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 26 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 26 often also need Class 23 (Yarns & threads) and Class 24 (Textiles & linen) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
