<p>I am simply adding up all of the new gouge fees from the
Trademark Office and telling the client that this is the new price
for filing a trademark application.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">With regard to the surcharge, I\u2019ve been
telling clients that the standard application fee is going up
$200 per class, unless we can fit the description into the
pre-approved list on the TMID. Because \u201cstandard fee plus
surcharge\u201d is, in essence, replacing the old TEAS standard
filing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With regard to the insufficient information
charge, the causes for it are the same as for failing to
comply with TEAS-plus requirements, but I\u2019m still trying to
figure out what to say there other than to emphasize that we
need to have all the required information ready when we file.

subcharge that an awful lot of our clients will need to pay
to use the freeform g/s field in applications starting next
year? And how are you presenting the highly unpredictable
\u201cdeficiency\u201d amounts in estimates?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(I still can\u2019t believe they\u2019re doing this
when it\u2019s basically the only way to avoid a 2(d) refusal in
many cases where the broader definition makes no darned
sense. Or when the broader category doesn\u2019t include a field
option?)</p>
