Subject: Please lower the fees!!
Hello! In response to your request for comments about lowering fees for electronic filings of trademarks, I am begging you to please follow through on this proposal! Between per class fees, maintenance fees, attorneys fees, etc it's almost impossible for serial entrepreneurs and innovators like myself to pursue the American dream due to the cost prohibitive nature of these fees! I've got one patent and I'm working on several tms, sms and copyrights and I'm going broke in the process! I think a flat $100 fee is a fair and reasonable amount, don't you?
Best,
Stefani McMurrey Watters
