Filing in Class 31
Live animals, live plants, seeds and unprocessed produce all fall under this one class, but once a food product is processed or cooked (even simple roasting or packaging that changes its raw state) it typically moves to Class 29 or 30 instead — pet food is the notable exception, staying here even though it's processed.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 31 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 31 often also need Class 5 (Pharmaceuticals) and Class 44 (Medical & wellness) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
