1893.01(c) Fees - 1800 Patent Cooperation Treaty

1893.01(c) Fees [R-1]

Because the national stage fees are subject to change, applicants and examiners should always consult the Official Gazette for the current fee listing.

>Fees under 37 CFR 1.16 relate to national applications under 35 U.S.C. 111(a), and not to international applications entering the national stage under 35 U.S.C. 371. National stage fees are specifically provided for in 37 CFR 1.492.

Applications will not be held abandoned if an authorization to charge fees under 37 CFR 1.16 has been provided instead of an authorization to charge fees under 37 CFR 1.492. The Office amended 37 CFR 1.25(b), effective November 7, 2000, so that an authorization to charge fees under 37 CFR 1.16 in an international application entering the national stage under 35 U.S.C. 371 is now treated as an authorization to charge fees under 37 CFR 1.492.<
