: FileWrapperRoundup of recent USPTO federal register notices: patent agent practice, fees, new rules and more
By McKee, Voorhees & Sease, P.L.C.
It's been a busy few weeks in rulemaking at the USPTO, with several notices recently posted that deserve attention. The notices relate to increases in fees for Fiscal Year 2009 because of the consumer price index, increases for PCT fees (and a correction), the scope of permissible practice of patent agents and changes to disciplinary procedures, the effective date of the currently-enjoined rules on applications with patentably indistinct claims, and the scope of foreign filing licenses, specifically as it relates to outsourcing patent application preparation outside the United States.
Click below for more detail on these notices.
