On December 16, 2014, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office released Final Rules which reduce fees for trademark applications and renewals. Adjusted fees include a $50 reduction in filing fees for applications using TEAS, a $50 reduction per class for TEAS Plus applications, and a $100 reduction per class for TEAS renewal applications. Motivation for the fee reductions include maintaining a sustainable funding model and the “support (of) strategic objectives relating to online filing, electronic file management, and workflow.”
