The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently published notice that it intends to move forward with plans to increase trademark filing fees effective November 2024.
基本出願の出願手数料は 250 ドルから 350 ドルに増加します。不完全な申請の場合は追加 100 ドルです。USPTO の商標 ID マニュアルから事前に承認された指定商品・指定役務の記載を選択するのではなく、商品または役務の独自の説明を使用する場合は、1 クラスあたり 200 ドルの追加になります。また過度に長い指定商品・指定役務の記載(ID)の場合はクラス毎に 200 ドル (スペースと句読点を含む、最初の 1,000 文字を超える 1,000 文字の追加グループ毎)
⚠文字は語(word)ではなく、charactersの数です。例えばtrademarkは1語ですが、characterの数は9(スペースも入れると10)です。適用となるベースは、1a, 1b 44, 66aですので、マドプロ経由の出願も1000 character ruleが適用されます。日本の類記載をそのまま翻訳して長いIDとなった場合は超過料金が凄いことになる可能性があります。11月の施行日よりも後の米国出願、米国指定の国際出願は指定商品・指定役務の記載の長さも気にする必要がありそうです。

RightRice, which is found on D.C.-based Cava’s fast-casual restaurant menu and sold in supermarkets nationwide, is currently branded as RightRice®, with a rice-shaped mark over the second “i” instead of a dot. The Nov. 29 decision of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to cancel the trademark means the symbol will have to come off, the federation states, though “rice” can remain — rice is a grain, not a trademark.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, in separate decisions issued in early February, denied OpenAI’s applications to trademark “ChatGPT” and “GPT.”OpenAI has the option to appeal the decisions to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board within three months. But if the rulings stand, they will prevent the company from defending its exclusive use of the phrases, opening them up to widespread adoption as common terms across the industry.
