For information concerning PCT member countries, see the notice
appearing in the Official Gazette at 1325 O.G. 4, on December 4, 2007.
European Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The European Patent Office (EPO) may act as the International Searching
Authority (ISA) for an international application filed with the United
States Receiving Office or the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving
Office where at least one of the applicants is either a national or
resident of the United States of America. However, the EPO is no longer
a competent ISA, within the meaning of PCT Article 16(3), for
international applications filed by U.S. residents or nationals on or
after 01 March 2002 in the USPTO or IB as a Receiving Office, and where
the application contains one or more claims directed to the field of
business methods. For the definition of what the EPO considers to be
precluded subject matter in the field of business methods, applicants
should see the "Notice from the President of the European Patent
Office", dated 26 November 2001, and which was published as Annex A in
the "Notice Concerning EPO Competence to Act as PCT Authority" in
the Official Gazette at 1255 O.G. 878, on February 19, 2002.
The European Patent Office may act as the International
Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA) for an international application
filed in the United States Receiving Office or the International Bureau
as Receiving Office where at least one of the applicants is either a
national or resident of the United States of America, provided that the
European Patent Office acted as the International Searching Authority.
However, the EPO is no longer a competent IPEA, within the meaning of
PCT Article 32(3), for international applications filed by U.S.
residents or nationals in the USPTO or IB as a Receiving Office where
the corresponding demand is filed with the EPO on or after 01 March
2002, and where the application contains one or more claims directed to
the fields of business methods.
The EPO resumed its competence as an International Searching
Authority and International Preliminary Examining Authority, effective
January 1, 2004, for international applications filed by nationals or
residents of the United States of America where the application
contains one or more claims relating to the field of biotechnology.
This change was announced in the Official Gazette at 1277 O.G. 230, on
December 30, 2003.
The EPO resumed its competence as an International Preliminary
Examining Authority, effective July 1, 2004, for demands filed by U.S.
residents or nationals on or after July 1, 2004, for international
applications filed by nationals or residents of the United States of
America where the application contains one or more claims relating to
the field of telecommunications. This change was announced in the
Official Gazette at 1277 O.G. 230, on December 30, 2003.
The search fee of the European Patent Office was increased,
effective April 1, 2008, and was announced in the Official Gazette

Revision of Patent Fees for Fiscal Year 2009
AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 3, 2008. No
public hearing will be held.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Walter Schlueter by e-mail at
Walter.Schlueter@uspto.gov, by telephone at (571) 272-6299, or by fax
at (571) 273-6299.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office is proposing to adjust certain
patent fees in accordance with the applicable provisions of title 35,
United States Code, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act
(Pub. L. 108-447, 118 Stat. 2809 (2004)).
Background: Statutory Provisions: Patent fees are set by or under
the authority provided in 35 U.S.C. 41, 119, 120, 132(b), 156, 157(a),
255, 302, 311, 376, section 532(a)(2) of the Uruguay Round Agreements
Act (URAA) (Pub. L. 103-465, Sec. 532(a)(2), 108 Stat. 4809, 4985
(1994)), and section 4506 of the American Inventors Protection Act of
1999 (AIPA) (Pub. L. 106-113, 113 Stat. 1501, 1501A-565 (1999)). For
fees paid under 35 U.S.C. 41(a) and (b) and 132(b), independent
inventors, small business concerns, and nonprofit organizations who
meet the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 41(h)(1) are entitled to a fifty-
percent reduction.
Section 41(d) of title 35, United States Code, authorizes the
Director to establish fees for all other processing, services, or
materials related to patents to recover the average cost of providing
these services or materials, except for the fees for recording a
document affecting title, for each photocopy, for each black and white
copy of a patent, and for standard library service.
Section 41(f) of title 35, United States Code, provides that fees
June 24, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1331 OG 98 |
established under 35 U.S.C. 41(a) and (b) may be adjusted on October 1,
1992, and every year thereafter, to reflect fluctuations in the CPI
over the previous twelve months.
Section 41(g) of title 35, United States Code, provides that new
fee amounts established by the Director under 35 U.S.C. 41 may take
effect thirty days after notice in the Federal Register and the
Official Gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The fiscal year 2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act (section 801
of Division B) provided that 35 U.S.C. 41(a), (b), and (d) shall be
administered in a manner that revises patent application fees (35
U.S.C. 41(a)) and patent maintenance fees (35 U.S.C. 41(b)), and
provides for a separate filing fee (35 U.S.C. 41(a)), search fee (35
U.S.C. 41(d)(1)), and examination fee (35 U.S.C. 41(a)(3)) during
fiscal years 2005 and 2006. See Pub. L. 108-447, 118 Stat. 2809, 2924-
30 (2004). The patent and trademark fee provisions of the fiscal year
2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act were extended through September
30, 2008, by subsequent legislation. See Pub. L. 110-161, 121 Stat.
1844 (2007), Pub. L. 110-149, 121 Stat. 1819 (2007), Pub. L. 110-137,
121 Stat. 1454 (2007), Pub. L. 110-116, 121 Stat. 1295 (2007), Pub. L.
110-92, 121 Stat. 989 (2007), Pub. L. 110-5, 121 Stat. 8 (2007), Pub.
L. 109-383, 120 Stat. 2678 (2006), Pub. L. 109-369, 120 Stat. 2642
(2006), and Pub. L. 109-289, 120 Stat. 1257 (2006). The Office
anticipates the introduction and enactment of legislation that would
extend the patent and trademark fee provisions of the fiscal year 2005
Consolidated Appropriations Act through fiscal year 2009.
Fee Adjustment Level: The patent statutory fees established by 35
U.S.C. 41(a) and (b) are proposed to be adjusted to reflect
fluctuations occurring during the twelve-month period from October 1,
2007, through September 30, 2008, correspondingly, in the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The Office of Management
and Budget has advised that in calculating these fluctuations, the
Office should use CPI-U data as determined by the Secretary of Labor.
In accordance with previous fee-setting methodology, the Office bases
this fee adjustment on the Administration's projected CPI-U for the
twelve-month period ending September 30, 2008, which is 4.0 percent.
Based on this projected CPI-U, patent statutory fees are proposed to be
adjusted by 4.0 percent. Before the final fee amounts are published,
the fee amounts may be adjusted based on actual fluctuations in the
CPI-U published by the Secretary of Labor.
The fee amounts were rounded by applying standard arithmetic rules
so that the amounts rounded will be convenient to the user. Fees for
other than a small entity of $100 or more were rounded to the nearest
$10. Fees of less than $100 were rounded to an even number so that any
comparable small entity fee will be a whole number.
General Procedures: Any fee amount that is paid on or after the
effective date of the proposed fee adjustment would be subject to the
new fees then in effect. The amount of the fee to be paid will be
determined by the time of filing. The time of filing will be determined
either according to the date of receipt in the Office (37 CFR 1.6) or
the date reflected on a proper Certificate of Mailing or Transmission,
where such a certificate is authorized under 37 CFR 1.8. Use of a
Certificate of Mailing or Transmission is not authorized for items that
are specifically excluded from the provisions of 37 CFR 1.8. Items for
which a Certificate of Mailing or Transmission under 37 CFR 1.8 is not
authorized include, for example, filing of national and international
applications for patents. See 37 CFR 1.8(a)(2).
Patent-related correspondence delivered by the "Express Mail Post
Office to Addressee" service of the United States Postal Service
(USPS) is considered filed or received in the Office on the date of
deposit with the USPS. See 37 CFR 1.10(a)(1). The date of deposit with
June 24, 2008 |

1331 OG 99 |
the USPS is shown by the "date-in" on the "Express Mail" mailing
label or other official USPS notation.
To ensure clarity in the implementation of the proposed new fees, a
discussion of specific sections is set forth below.
Discussion of Specific Rules
37 CFR 1.16 National application filing, search, and examination
fees: Section 1.16, paragraphs (a) through (e), (h) through (k), and
(m) through (s), if revised as proposed, would adjust fees established
therein to reflect fluctuations in the CPI.
37 CFR 1.17 Patent application and reexamination processing fees:
Section 1.17, paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(5), (l), and (m), if
revised as proposed, would adjust fees established therein to reflect
fluctuations in the CPI.
37 CFR 1.18 Patent post allowance (including issue) fees: Section
1.18, paragraphs (a) through (c), if revised as proposed, would adjust
fees established therein to reflect fluctuations in the CPI.
37 CFR 1.20 Post issuance fees: Section 1.20, paragraphs (c)(3),
(c)(4), and (d) through (g), if revised as proposed, would adjust fees
established therein to reflect fluctuations in the CPI.
37 CFR 1.492 National stage fees: Section 1.492, paragraphs (a),
(b)(3), (b)(4), (c)(2), (d) through (f), and (j), if revised as
proposed, would adjust fees established therein to reflect fluctuations
in the CPI.
37 CFR 41.20 Fees: Section 41.20, paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(3),
if revised as proposed, would adjust fees established therein to
reflect fluctuations in the CPI.
Alternative Fee Amounts if Legislation Extending the Patent and
Trademark Fee Provisions of the Fiscal Year 2005 Consolidated
Appropriations Act is Not Enacted: If legislation that would extend the
patent and trademark fee provisions of the fiscal year 2005
Consolidated Appropriations Act into fiscal year 2009 is not enacted,
patent fees under 35 U.S.C. 41(a), (b), and (d) will become the patent
fees in effect in the absence of the fiscal year 2005 Consolidated
Appropriations Act. The Office is therefore also proposing to adjust
the patent fees under 35 U.S.C. 41(a), (b), and (d) that would be in
effect in the absence of the fiscal year 2005 Consolidated
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2009 to reflect fluctuations in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI). The following table (Table 1) sets out the
proposed fee amounts in the event that legislation extending the patent
and trademark fee provisions of the fiscal year 2005 Consolidated
Appropriations Act into fiscal year 2009 is not enacted.

Rulemaking Considerations
A. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
1. Description of the reasons that action by the agency is being
considered: The Office is proposing to adjust the patent fees set under
35 U.S.C. 41(a) and (b) to ensure proper funding for effective Office
operations. The patent fee CPI adjustment is a routine adjustment that
has generally occurred on an annual basis to recover the higher costs
of Office's operations that occur due to the increase in the price of
products and services. The lack of proper funding for effective Office
operations would result in a significant increase in patent pendency
levels.
2. Succinct statement of the objectives of, and legal basis for,
the proposed rules: The objective of the proposed change is to adjust
patent fees set under 35 U.S.C. 41(a) and (b) to recover the higher
costs of Office operations. Patent fees are set by or under the
authority provided in 35 U.S.C. 41, 119, 120, 132(b), 156, 157(a), 255,
302, 311, 376, section 532(a)(2) of the URAA, and 4506 of the AIPA. 35
U.S.C. 41(f) provides that fees established under 35 U.S.C. 41(a) and
(b) may be adjusted every year to reflect fluctuations in the CPI over
the previous twelve months.
3. Description and estimate of the number of affected small
entities: The Small Business Administration (SBA) small business size
standards applicable to most analyses conducted to comply with the
Regulatory Flexibility Act are set forth in 13 CFR 121.201. These
June 24, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1331 OG 101 |
regulations generally define small businesses as those with fewer than
a maximum number of employees or less than a specified level of annual
receipts for the entity's industrial sector or North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) code. The Office, however, has formally
adopted an alternate size standard as the size standard for the purpose
of conducting an analysis or making a certification under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act for patent-related regulations. See Business
Size Standard for Purposes of United States Patent and Trademark Office
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Patent-Related Regulations, 71 FR
67109 (Nov. 20, 2006), 1313 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 60 (Dec. 12, 2006).
This alternate small business size standard is the previously
established size standard that identifies the criteria entities must
meet to be entitled to pay reduced patent fees. See 13 CFR 121.802. If
patent applicants identify themselves on the patent application as
qualifying for reduced patent fees, the Office captures this data in the
Patent Application Location and Monitoring (PALM) database system, which
tracks information on each patent application submitted to the Office.
Unlike the SBA small business size standards set forth in 13 CFR
121.201, this size standard is not industry-specific. Specifically, the
Office's definition of small business concern for Regulatory
Flexibility Act purposes is a business or other concern that: (1) Meets
the SBA's definition of a "business concern or concern" set forth in
13 CFR 121.105; and (2) meets the size standards set forth in 13 CFR
121.802 for the purpose of paying reduced patent fees, namely an
entity: (a) Whose number of employees, including affiliates, does not
exceed 500 persons; and (b) which has not assigned, granted, conveyed,
or licensed (and is under no obligation to do so) any rights in the
invention to any person who made it and could not be classified as an
independent inventor, or to any concern which would not qualify as a
non-profit organization or a small business concern under this
definition. See Business Size Standard for Purposes of United States
Patent and Trademark Office Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Patent-
Related Regulations, 71 FR at 67112, 1313 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office at 63.
The changes in this proposed rule will apply to any small entity
that files a patent application, or has a pending patent application or
unexpired patent. The changes in this proposed rule will specifically
apply when an applicant or patentee pays an application filing or
national stage entry fee, search fee, examination fee, excess or
multiple dependent claim fee, application size fee, extension of time
fee, notice of appeal fee, appeal brief fee, request for an oral
hearing fee, disclaimer fee, petition to revive fee, issue fee, or
patent maintenance fee. The following table (Table 2) indicates the
applicable fee, the number of small entity payments of the fee received
by the Office in fiscal year 2007 (number of small entities who paid
the applicable fee in fiscal year 2007), the current small entity fee
amount, the proposed small entity fee amount, and the net amount of the
small entity fee adjustment.

The Office has also been advised that a number of small entity
applicants and patentees do not claim small entity status for various
reasons. See Business Size Standard for Purposes of United States
Patent and Trademark Office Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Patent-
Related Regulations, 71 FR at 67110, 1313 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office at 61.
Therefore, the Office is also considering all other entities paying
patent fees as well. The following table (Table 3) indicates the
applicable fee, the number of non-small entity payments of the fee
received by the Office in fiscal year 2007 (number of non-small
entities who paid the applicable fee in fiscal year 2007), the current

4. Description of the projected reporting, recordkeeping and other
compliance requirements of the proposed rules, including an estimate of
the classes of small entities which will be subject to the requirement
and the type of professional skills necessary for preparation of the
report or record: This notice does not propose any reporting,
recordkeeping and other compliance requirements. This notice proposes
only to adjust patent fees (as discussed previously) to reflect changes
in the CPI.
5. Description of any significant alternatives to the proposed
rules which accomplish the stated objectives of applicable statutes and
which minimize any significant economic impact of the proposed rules on
small entities: The alternative of not adjusting patent fees would have
a lesser economic impact on small entities, but would not accomplish
the stated objectives of applicable statutes. The Office is proposing
to adjust the patent fees to ensure proper funding for effective Office
operations. The patent fee CPI adjustment is a routine adjustment that
has generally occurred on an annual basis to recover the higher costs
of Office's operations that occur due to the increase in the price of
products and services. The lack of proper funding for effective Office
operations would result in a significant increase in patent pendency
levels.
6. Identification, to the extent practicable, of all relevant
Federal rules which may duplicate, overlap or conflict with the
proposed rules: The Office is the sole agency of the United States
Government responsible for administering the provisions of title 35,
United States Code, pertaining to examination and granting patents.
Therefore, no other federal, state, or local entity shares jurisdiction
over the examination and granting patents.
Other countries, however, have their own patent laws, and an entity
desiring a patent in a particular country must make an application for
patent in that country, in accordance with the applicable law. Although
the potential for overlap exists internationally, this cannot be
avoided except by treaty (such as the Paris Convention for the
Protection of Industrial Property, or the Patent Cooperation Treaty
(PCT)).
Nevertheless, the Office believes that there are no other
duplicative or overlapping rules.
B. Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
This rulemaking does not contain policies with federalism
implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism
Assessment under Executive Order 13132 (Aug. 4, 1999).
C. Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review)
This rulemaking has been determined to be significant for purposes
of Executive Order 12866 (Sept. 30, 1993), as amended by Executive
Order 13258 (Feb. 26, 2002) and Executive Order 13422 (Jan. 18, 2007).
D. Executive Order 13175 (Tribal Consultation)
This rulemaking will not: (1) Have substantial direct effects on
one or more Indian tribes; (2) impose substantial direct compliance
costs on Indian tribal governments; or (3) preempt tribal law.
June 24, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1331 OG 106 |
Therefore, a tribal summary impact statement is not required under
Executive Order 13175 (Nov. 6, 2000).
E. Executive Order 13211 (Energy Effects)
This rulemaking is not a significant energy action under Executive
Order 13211 because this rulemaking is not likely to have a significant
adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy.
Therefore, a Statement of Energy Effects is not required under
Executive Order 13211 (May 18, 2001).
F. Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform)
This rulemaking meets applicable standards to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden as set forth in sections 3(a)
and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 (Feb. 5, 1996).
G. Executive Order 13045 (Protection of Children)
This rulemaking is not an economically significant rule and does
not concern an environmental risk to health or safety that may
disproportionately affect children under Executive Order 13045 (Apr.
21, 1997).
H. Executive Order 12630 (Taking of Private Property)
This rulemaking will not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630 (Mar.
15, 1988).
I. Congressional Review Act
Under the Congressional Review Act provisions of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
prior to issuing any final rule, the United States Patent and Trademark
Office will submit a report containing the final rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives and the Comptroller General of the Government
Accountability Office. The changes proposed in this notice are not
expected to result in an annual effect on the economy of 100 million
dollars or more, a major increase in costs or prices, or significant
adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity,
innovation, or the ability of United States-based enterprises to
compete with foreign-based enterprises in domestic and export markets.
Therefore, this rulemaking is not likely to result in a "major rule"
as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
J. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995:
The changes proposed in this notice do not involve a Federal
intergovernmental mandate that will result in the expenditure by State,
local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, of 100 million dollars
(as adjusted) or more in any one year, or a Federal private sector
mandate that will result in the expenditure by the private sector of
100 million dollars (as adjusted) or more in any one year, and will not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no
actions are necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995. See 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.
K. National Environmental Policy Act
This rulemaking will not have any effect on the quality of
environment and is thus categorically excluded from review under the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. See 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.
L. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
June 24, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1331 OG 107 |
The requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) are
inapplicable because this rulemaking does not contain provisions which
involve the use of technical standards.
M. Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule involves information collection requirements
which are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.). The collections of information involved in this proposed rule
have been reviewed and approved by OMB under OMB control numbers 0651-
0016, 0651-0021, 0651-0031, 0651-0032, and 0651-0033. The Office is not
resubmitting information collection packages to OMB for its review and
approval at this time because the changes proposed in this notice
revise the fees for existing information collection requirements
associated with the information collections under OMB control numbers
0651-0016, 0651-0021, 0651-0031, 0651-0032, and 0651-0033. The Office
will submit fee revision changes for OMB control numbers 0651-0016,
0651-0021, 0651-0031, 0651-0032, and 0651-0033 to OMB for review if the
changes proposed in this notice are adopted.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of information
is necessary for proper performance of the functions of the agency; (2)
the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information to respondents.
Interested persons are requested to send comments regarding these
information collections, including suggestions for reducing this
burden, to: (1) The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room
10202, 725 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer
for the Patent and Trademark Office; and (2) Robert A. Clarke, Director,
Office of Patent Legal Administration, Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box
1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required
to respond to nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
