Most years in
October the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office revises its fees, rarely
downwards. The
latest fees are provided online at www.USPTO.gov.
The table below provides some of the most common fees. All fees listed are for small entities -- individuals,
non-profit organizations, and small companies. These are fees charged
