USPTO Adjusts PCT Transmittal and Search FeesThe United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is revising the rules of practice to adjust the transmittal and search fees for international applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). The Office is adjusting the PCT transmittal and search fees to recover the estimated average cost to the Office of processing PCT international applications and preparing international search reports and written opinions for PCT international applications. The new PCT transmittal fee will be $240.00; the new search fee where the USPTO is acting as the International Searching Authority will be $2,080.00; and the new supplemental search fee where the USPTO is acting as the International Searching Authority will be $2,080.00 per additional invention. These changes will apply to international applications having a receipt date that is on or after January 12, 2009.
