US Trademark Fee Schedule Proposed

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is announcing the date, time, and place of a public hearing that will be held by the Trademark Public Advisory Committee (TPAC) on the USPTO’s proposed setting or adjusting of trademark fees pursuant to the USPTO’s fee setting authority under section 10 of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA). The USPTO will make its proposed trademark fees available—as set forth in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice—before the TPAC hearing. The public is invited to testify at the hearing and submit written comments regarding proposed trademark fees.

Fee Setting and Adjusting | USPTO
今回提案されているものでは、TEAS, Plus出願は止めて、350ドルPer classの基礎出願に統一し、情報不足の出願や、Trademark Next Generation ID Manual以外の商品役務記載、区分ごとにcharacters countが1000が超える記載の出願は料金の加算となります。マドプロで日本の商品役務の記載をそのまま翻訳して出願する方式では、クラスごと数百ドルも高くなることにもなりそうです。(例 The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) =57 characters) また、更新時の費用も値上げ案が出されています。まだ案の段階ですので値上げなどの時期は未定と思いますが、勝手に1年後ぐらいを予想しています。
