In April 2023, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) announced proposed changes to some of the fees that it charges with respect to patent applications, design patents and America Invents Act trials.
In the U.S., patents will soon be granted electronically starting April 18, 2023.
As of December 29, 2022, the USPTO reduced the fees relating to patents matters for small and micro-entities.
For the last decade, the After Final Consideration Pilot Program 2.0 (AFCP) has been an option for U.S. patent applicants to use when their applications receive a Final Office Action.
