Macao SAR: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$444 for one class, plus US$404 for each further class. Macao SAR is not a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark must be filed directly with its office. Macao SAR is a leading import market for wines and spirits (class 33) and jewellery and watches (class 14).
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.
Our estimate is about US$444 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$124 in official fees and about US$320 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class costs about as much again (US$404). 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.
