[Patentpractice] potential fee increase for fiscal year 2025

[William Ahmed]

Dear List,We have all read online (about 4-5 months ago) that the USPTO is considering to increase fees for Fiscal Year 2025.See here --> https://www.uspto.gov/subscription-center/2024/proposed-patent-fee-changes-fiscal-year-2025 entitled Proposed patent fee changes for fiscal year 2025
Some of these proposed fee increases were quite contentious -- e.g. raising fees on applications with certain priority claims, significant increase on terminal disclaimers fees, etc.
I have two questions ->
QUESTION A ---> have these new rules/fees been implemented? Or is this still something that is 'under consideration'?QUESTION B ---> what would be the FIRST day of these increased fees:   (i) January 1 2025 OR (ii) October 1, 2024. Thanks,Bill
