Back to Cost of trademark registration

How much does adding a class to my NZ trademark application cost?

Senior Trademark Attorney

Adding a class to a New Zealand trademark application costs NZD 150 per class. This fee is the same for each class and does not change based on how many classes are included.

Please note this is only the government fee paid to IPONZ directly. If you file through a representative (an attorney, law firm, or online legal service), additional fees for their services will apply.

Perceived similarity of trademarks: Lessons from Starbucks trademark disputes

One of the most common reasons for trademark disputes has to do with the perceived similarity between existing trademarks. The two trademarks are considered “similar” if they share common characteristics connected to their appearance, sound, meaning and commercial impression, and if they are used for related goods or services. This is seen as a problem from brand perspective because the consumers might believe that the owners of the two trademarks are related, affiliated, connected, or that the goods or services originate from the same source.
