On January 19, 2025, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will implement substantial increases to filing fees and surcharges for patents and trademarks, significantly impacting the cost of securing and maintaining intellectual property assets. The USPTO has raised fees across a range of categories for both patents and trademarks. To avoid the higher costs associated with filings, examinations, and maintenance, it is advisable to submit applications and renewal materials before January 19, 2025.?
