The Czech Republic: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$840 for one class, plus US$135 for each further class. The Czech Republic is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to the Czech Republic through an international registration. Protection in the Czech Republic can also come from an EU trade mark, which covers all 27 EU countries. The Czech Republic is a leading import market for firearms and fireworks (class 13) and electronics and software (class 9). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of games, toys and sports goods (class 28) and firearms and fireworks (class 13).
Much of the trademark protection in Czech Republic is obtained through EU trade marks, which cover all 27 EU countries. The filing figures on this page count only applications filed directly with Czech Republic's own office. See European Union (EUIPO).
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.
In colour: goods where Czech Republic is among the world's 10 largest exporters, or has at least 5% of world exports. In grey, for comparison: its next-largest shares.
Goods where Czech Republic 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$840 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$184 in official fees and about US$656 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$135. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.

The Czech Republic is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to the Czech Republic through an international registration. Designating the Czech Republic costs WIPO's standard complementary fee of CHF 100 (about US$120); beyond three classes WIPO also charges a supplementary fee per class, on top of its basic fee for the international application. Protection in the Czech Republic can also come from an EU trade mark, which covers all 27 EU countries.
