Argentina: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$520 for one class, plus US$480 for each further class. Argentina is not a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark must be filed directly with its office. Argentina is a leading import market for chemicals (class 1) and machines (class 7). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of soya-bean oil-cake and maize.
Figures by trademark class count branded goods only: raw commodities that are traded mostly without brands - such as gold bars, fuel, bulk chemicals, grain and fabric by the metre - are left out. Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates are left out of the rankings, as much of their trade is re-exported.
Goods where Argentina is among the world's 3 largest exporters, has at least 15% of world exports, or that make up at least 25% of its own exports - of at least US$500m a year.
Our estimate is about US$520 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$25 in official fees and about US$495 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class costs about as much again (US$480). Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application. Request a quote from a law firm on this site for an exact price.

Where goods are made and exported, copies are often made too: a registered trademark there lets you act against counterfeits at the source, including with the help of customs.
