U.S. Trademark Office Fees Increasing Significantly on January 18, 2025: What It Means for You

MSK Client Alert 
January 16, 2025

The new year is bringing with it some major fee increases from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) for certain key aspects for trademark filings and other trademark prosecution. Nearly all go into effect on January 18, 2025. Here are some major changes to know, and how they may affect your filing strategy in the United States:

These changes make it more important to follow the USPTO’s recommendation and have a seasoned practitioner working with you to ensure you file strategically and with precision. Otherwise, the government costs relating to your filings may add up dramatically.

In recognition of these increases charged by the USPTO, MSK is not increasing its flat fees for legal services on its Schedule of Trademark Fees, through the end of 2025. For an updated Schedule of Trademark Fees with the new USPTO charges included, please reach out to your MSK contact or trademark@msk.com.
