# Best Trademark Law Firms

> U.S.-based applicants may file a trademark application themselves, but applicants domiciled outside the United States must be represented by a U.S.-licensed attorney. The USPTO's base application fee is $350 per class of goods or services. Counsel earns its fee mainly in clearance searching, drafting the identification of goods, and answering office actions.
