RAPID RESPONSE: Exploring the Changes Hidden in the August 3, 2020 Final USPTO Fee Rules
October 15, 2020 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM | No CLE
The USPTO published a Final Rule for "Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees During Fiscal Year 2020" on August 3, 2020, in a Federal Register Notice, announcing fee changes that take effect October 2, 2020. However, the Final Rule contained more than just the usual fee raises. The Final Rule established three other important changes for patent practitioners that could be missed without a careful review, and went largely unnoticed by the patent community. This webinar will provide information about these changes that take effect starting in 2022, including a non-DOCX filing surcharge, a new biennial patent practitioner registration statement requirement, and a voluntary CLE certification for registered practitioners. Speakers will explore the details outlined in the August 3 Final Rule, details that still need clarification by the USPTO, and potential implications for patent applicants and practitioners. -
