The usual class
Classes sellers often add
You pay $350 per class, so add a class only for goods or services you actually offer under the name.
Getting the wording right
Knowing the class is half the job. The application also needs a description of your services in the USPTO's own terms. Wording taken from the USPTO ID Manual costs nothing extra; a custom description adds a $200 per class surcharge. The class finder suggests matching wording from a plain-English description.
