[Patentpractice] Proposed patent fee changes for fiscal year 2025

[Doreen Trujillo]

What is “inclusive capitalism?” The paragraph bridging pages 3-4:

“The individual fee proposals align with the USPTO’s strategic goals and its fee structure philosophy, including the agency’s four key fee setting policy factors: (1) promote innovation strategies; (2) align fees with the full costs of products and services; (3) facilitate effective administration of the U.S. patent system; and (4) offer application processing options as discussed in detail in Part IV: Rulemaking Goals and Strategies. The proposed fee adjustments will enable the USPTO to accomplish its mission to drive U.S. innovation, inclusive capitalism, and global competitiveness. The USPTO’s goal is to drive innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity for the benefit of all Americans and people around the world.”

Surely it's worth paying more for all that enhancement of user experience?

From page 23 of the draft notice:

"the USPTO has enhanced its website to increase access to our
resources and enhance customer service for inventors and practitioners, including
modernizing and updating the Patent Basics and Patents Petitions pages, adding a Virtual
Assistant on select pages, and providing an updated and modern general website search
tool. The USPTO has also upgraded its computer systems, including transitioning from
legacy systems to Patent Center for the electronic filing and management of patent
applications in November 2023. Patent Center, a web-based platform that allows users to
file and manage patent applications and requests, provides improved system performance
and a more intuitive user interface for an enhanced user experience."
