Back to Trademark basics

I want to buy an existing trademark. What would be the price to do this?

Senior Trademark Attorney

Much like company acquisitions, there is no standard pricing for acquiring trademarks. The value of a trademark depends on the strength and recognition of the mark, the classes and jurisdictions it covers, and the revenue generated by the brand.

A trademark for a well-established brand in a competitive market can be worth considerably more than the cost of registration. A lapsed or unused mark with no commercial reputation may be available for a modest sum, if the owner is willing to sell at all.

If you are considering a trademark acquisition, a trademark attorney can advise on valuation, due diligence, and the assignment process.
