Revision of Patent Fees
The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) is amending the rules of practice in patent cases, Part 1 of title 37, Code of Federal Regulations, to adjust certain patent fee amounts to reflect fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and to recover costs of operation. The PTO also is providing notice that, beginning on October 1, 1994, the suspension of the fee for access to the Automated Patent System's Full Text Search capability (APS-Text) at a Patent and Trademark Depository Library (PTDL) will be lifted. However, the PTO is rescinding this hourly fee, which was established by 37 CFR 1.21(p), and in its place assessing an annual subscription fee on PTDLs providing such service. On October 1, 1994, the PTO also will begin collecting a fee for access to the Automated Patent System's Classified Search and Image Retrieval capability (APS-CSIR) from the search facilities in Arlington, Virginia.
