Here we go: merge TEAS/TEAS+, but use the higher $350/class rate. Then add add'l fees on top: TMIDM does not contain appropriate goods/services for your client? You pay $200! Office decides you didn't supply "sufficient" information?

Proposed trademark fees changes for fiscal year 2025
Submit comments by May 28

As part of our regular assessment of fees under our fee-setting authority, we are proposing certain adjustments necessary to efficiently and effectively administer the U.S. trademark system. These fees provide our agency with the ability to implement programs and initiatives driving our 2022–2026 Strategic Plan, including developing news ways to fight fraud, supporting our employees and stakeholders with reliable IT infrastructure, and enhancing our work to reduce pendency. Our proposed changes to the trademark fees can be found in a notice of proposed rulemaking<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZlZGVyYWxyZWdpc3Rlci5nb3YvcHVibGljLWluc3BlY3Rpb24vMjAyNC0wNjE4Ni9zZXR0aW5nLWFuZC1hZGp1c3RpbmctdHJhZGVtYXJrLWZlZXMtZHVyaW5nLWZpc2NhbC15ZWFyLTIwMjU_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPXN1YnNjcmlwdGlvbmNlbnRlciZ1dG1fY29udGVudD0mdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fbmFtZT0mdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSZ1dG1fdGVybT0iLCJidWxsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjQwMzI1LjkyMzQ1NDcxIn0.6N6BzCNHLozdKzmJULC_AsyXGnfWMf2N4-MoN7g_vAk/s/532765906/br/239555935206-l__;!!Nf401RNTQFE14GfWW3o!k0L2EhFwDEgeRSOpOf9BtD3TVZJSeKFQrGfDJk8DOd5ZDc-QcPv-WqzSM9U7Jp3t076ysrClqJ0v38wZDFVY7zH3U6vghxI$> (NPRM) that will officially publish tomorrow in the Federal Register. An NPRM on proposed patent fee changes is forthcoming.

“This trademark fee proposal thoughtfully promotes efficient operations, adjusts for higher operating costs, and sufficiently finances ongoing and planned initiatives that optimize our service to American entrepreneurs,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO Kathi Vidal.

Our trademark fee proposal provides additional resources to enable us to deliver high-quality and timely trademark examination and review proceedings that produce accurate and reliable trademark rights for domestic and international stakeholders. It also enables us to spend additional efforts to declutter the trademark register and address fraud that impacts American entrepreneurs. The rule will enable the USPTO to accomplish our mission to drive U.S. innovation, inclusive capitalism, and global competitiveness.

Our proposal is shaped by public feedback we’ve received throughout the past several months, beginning with a public hearing<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnVzcHRvLmdvdi9hYm91dC11cy9ldmVudHMvdHJhZGVtYXJrLXB1YmxpYy1hZHZpc29yeS1jb21taXR0ZWUtZmVlLXNldHRpbmctaGVhcmluZz91dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249c3Vic2NyaXB0aW9uY2VudGVyJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9uYW1lPSZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5JnV0bV90ZXJtPSIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyNDAzMjUuOTIzNDU0NzEifQ.sR0Vb7d49oExZWy6Io2glAinCovdv3yvWhoQ37-vT_0/s/532765906/br/239555935206-l__;!!Nf401RNTQFE14GfWW3o!k0L2EhFwDEgeRSOpOf9BtD3TVZJSeKFQrGfDJk8DOd5ZDc-QcPv-WqzSM9U7Jp3t076ysrClqJ0v38wZDFVY7zH3T73Brfk$> in June 2023 hosted by our Trademark Public Advisory Committee (TPAC). Following the hearing, TPAC provided our agency with a written report detailing the public comments received and its recommendations regarding the proposed fees. We considered and analyzed all comments and feedback to create this proposal.
