The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) today announced the findings of two reports conducted by third-party academic economists and submitted to Congress late last year, as required by the Unleashing American Innovators Act of 2022 (UAIA). One report examined the impact of patent application fees on entry into patenting, while the other focused on the USPTO’s fee structure and addressed issues such as “the potential impact on small and micro entities, whether fee structure changes are needed, and recommendations for administrative and legislative action.”
