Myanmar: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$990 for one class, plus US$490 for each further class. Myanmar is not a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark must be filed directly with its office. Myanmar is a leading import market for haberdashery (class 26) and beer and soft drinks (class 32). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of dried pulses and rare-earth compounds.
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 Myanmar 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$990 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$72 in official fees and about US$918 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$490. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.
