As of the latest update on February 2, 2023, the cost for registering a trademark in Singapore in general including a name and logo is as follows:
1. For online filing inside of Singapore: the fee structure is determined based on the class(es) of goods or services for which the trademark is being registered.
If the specification items for the class(es) are fully adopted from the pre-approved database of goods/services descriptions, the fee is S$280 per class. This applies when the chosen goods or services fall within the standard pre-approved categories.
If the specification for the class(es) is not fully adopted from the pre-approved database, meaning that a more specific or customized description is required, the fee is S$380 per class. This applies when the goods or services being registered do not fit precisely within the pre-approved descriptions.
2. For online filing outside of Singapore: there are additional fees to consider:
An administrative fee of S$250 is payable to the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS). This fee covers the administrative processes associated with handling the trademark application.
An application fee is payable to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Swiss francs. The exact amount can be determined by using the WIPO Fee Calculator, which provides the most up-to-date information on the fee payable.
It’s important to note that the fees mentioned here are subject to change, and it is advisable to consult the official website of the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) or seek professional advice for the most accurate and current information regarding trademark registration fees in Singapore.
It’s important to note that these fees only cover the initial application and registration process. Other costs may arise if you need to respond to office actions or if you require additional services from a trademark attorney, such as conducting a comprehensive trademark search or handling any legal complexities.
For a comprehensive understanding of the current fees and requirements, it is advisable to consult the IPOS website or seek professional advice from a trademark attorney familiar with the Singaporean intellectual property landscape.
