Filing in Class 6
Whether a metal product lands here or in Class 20 (furniture) or Class 8 (hand tools) turns entirely on function, not material — a metal chair is Class 20, a metal wrench is Class 8, and only genuinely structural or raw metal goods (safes, pipes, building hardware) stay in Class 6.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 6 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 6 often also need Class 19 (Building materials) and Class 20 (Furniture) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
