"The USPTO has issued the final rules that include significant fee increases for patent applicants, set to take effect January 19, 2025, coinciding with the end of the Biden Administration."
"Because of the timing, I believe there is some chance that parties will challenge aspects of the fee increase in court, particularly the increased fees for late-filed continuation applications."
"A key aspect of the America Invents Act of 2011 provided the USPTO with fee setting authority... Fees may be set or adjusted... only to recover the aggregate estimated costs."
"Barring delayed implementation, applicants will save some dollars by ensuring that their filings beat the January 19, 2025 deadline."
