<p class="MsoNormal">The PTO has issued its guide for the new fee schedule, and we now have some answers for questions I\u2019ve seen on the list. In particular, I note that if you use free form text, you\u2019ll have to pay a surcharge for all of the classes in the
application, even if you use the ID manual for all of the goods/services in one or more classes. However, this is not true of the excess character charge, which only applies to the class in which you exceed the permitted 1,000 characters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I note also that you can\u2019t fix an additional fee issue by deleting offending language or even an entire class.
