Filing in Class 29
The rough rule of thumb splitting Classes 29 and 30 is animal/dairy/fat-based vs. grain/plant-based — jerky, cheese and nut butters sit here, while cereal, bread and spices sit in Class 30, even for a single snack brand selling both a protein bar (29) and a granola bar (30).
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 29 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 29 often also need Class 30 (Staple foods) and Class 31 (Agriculture & pets) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
