Does anyone know the average cost of a trademark?  How about a patent?

and by the way in case you haven`t noticed this community is kind`a like walmart if you can`t find it here you probably don`t need it.

just my thought

just saw somebody "get a trademark" and may be about to have it cancelled because of a poor amendment made during prosecution.  pay me now or pay me later.

True true!  I did the legal zoom fthing or my trademark and while it was fast and convenient, my initial action was denied.  I`m now working with a trademark attorney to win it.  It should be no problem according to my attorney, but James it right... pay him now or pay him later   So in answer to your question about how much does a trademark cost.... The meter is still running on that one.  My patent attorney does a provisional for about $2000.00 and a utility for between $5000.00 and $7000.00 (if it`s a very complex patent you could be talking upwards of $10,000).  You can pay more and you can pay less but that`s a very general answer in my limited experience.  Hope this helps a little!
