The USPTO base fee is collected with the service fee when you accept, and the firm pays it to the USPTO at filing. If the application is not filed, that fee is refunded.
USPTO surcharges for free text goods and services or missing information are extra and are quoted only if they apply.

$500 for the first class and $200 for each additional class, plus the USPTO base fee of $350 per class, so one class is $850 in total. Nothing is paid up front: both are charged together once your attorney has confirmed the scope and you accept the quote.
How many classes do we need?
One for each kind of goods or services you sell or plan to sell under the mark. Your attorney confirms the classes before the quote.
What if the USPTO raises an objection?
Routine procedural corrections are included. Responses to substantive refusals, oppositions and other disputes are quoted separately, in writing, before any work starts.
