US Patent and Trademark Office Proposes Patent Fee Adjustments for Fiscal Year 2007

The US Patent and Trademark Office is proposing to adjust patent fees to reflect inflation, as well as a few fees that track the affected amounts, in order to recover higher business costs. The proposed adjustments would apply if the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 is not in effect during fiscal year 2007.
