How much - ball park figure - will it cost to lodge and run an appeal from a trade mark hearing in Fed Circuit Court? I'm a corporation, so I know there is a filing fee of $1485, just not sure what extra costs/fees might be incurred after lodging notice of application.

Hi such an appeal is a hearing de novo so fresh evidence ia likely going to need to be prepapred. Together with briefing counsel and appearances in direction hearings and a final hearing of 1-2 days, you would not see any change out of $40K and quite possibly much more depending on the actions of the other side.
