Filing in Class 7
The "not for land vehicles" carve-out matters: a motor built for a car goes in Class 12, not here. This class is otherwise broad, covering everything from industrial robotics to kitchen-appliance motors, which makes precise identification wording important to avoid an office action for indefiniteness.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 7 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 7 often also need Class 12 (Vehicles) and Class 40 (Manufacturing) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
