Official Fees Changed/TTAB Final Rule Effective


On January 14, 2017, the Trademark final fee rule became effective. The new fee schedule will primarily impact trademark applicants and registration owners who use paper filings. The fee for filing a trademark application on paper increased e.g. from USD 375 to USD 600 per class.

More moderate is the increase of e-filings which will be now USD 400 per class using the regular Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS Regular) option. The fees have been increased by USD 75. More information, see here

Further, the USPTO informs that the TTAB final rule became effective on January 14, 2017 too. The TTAB chart summarising the rule changes.
