`Notice of Possible Fee Increase on October 1, 2002
`
`If a reply to a "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" is filed in the Office on or after October 1, 2002, then the
`amount due may be higher than that set forth in the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" since there may be an increase
`in fees effective on October 1, 2002. See Revision of Patent and Trademark Fees for Fiscal Year 2003: Notice of
`Proposed Rulemaking. 67 Fed. Reg. 30634, 30636 (May 7, 2002). Although a change to the amount of the publication fee
`is not currently proposed for October 2002, if the issue fee or publication fee is to be paid on or after October 1, 2002,
`applicant should check the USPTO web site for the current fees before submitting the payment. The USPTO Internet
`address for the fee schedule is: http://www.uspto.gov/main/howtofees.htm.
`
`If the issue fee paid is the amount shown on the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due," but not the correct amount
`in view of any fee increase, a "Notice to Pay Balance of Issue Fee" will be mailed to applicant. In order to avoid
`processing delays associated with mailing of a "Notice to Pay Balance of Issue Fee," if the response to the Notice of
`Allowance and Fee(s) due form is to be filed on or after October 1, 2002 (or mailed with a certificate of mailing on or
`after October 1, 2002), the issue fee paid should be the fee that is required at the time the fee is paid. If the issue fee was
`previously paid, and the response to the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" includes a request to apply a
`previously-paid issue fee to the issue fee now due, then the difference between the issue fee amount at the time the
`response is filed and the previously paid issue fee should be paid. ~ Manual of Patent Examining Procedure, Section
`1308.01 (Eighth Edition, August 2001).
`
`Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be directed to the Customer Service Center
`ofthe Office of Patent Publication at (703) 305-8283.

`Notice of Fee Increase on January 1, 2003
`
`If a reply to a "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" is filed in the Office on or after January 1, 2003, then the
`amount due will be higher than that set forth in the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" since there will be an increase
`in fees effective on January 1, 2003. ~Revision of Patent .illlil Trademark Fees fur Fiscal Year 2.Q.Q.l. Final Rule, 67 Fed.
`Reg. 70847, 70849 (November 27, 2002).
`
`The current fee schedule is accessible from: httn://www.uspto.gov/mainlhowtofees htm.
`
`If the issue fee paid is the amount shown on the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due," but not the correct amount
`in view of the fee increase, a "Notice to Pay Balance of Issue Fee" will be mailed to applicant. In order to avoid
`processing delays associated with mailing of a "Notice to Pay Balance of Issue Fee," if the response to the Notice of
`Allowance and Fee(s) due form is to be filed on or after January 1, 2003 (or mailed with a certificate of mailing on or
`after January 1, 2003), the issue fee paid should be the fee that is required at the time the fee is paid. If the issue fee was
`previously paid, and the response to the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" includes a request to apply a
`previously-paid issue fee to the issue fee now due, then the difference between the issue fee amount at the time the
`response is filed and the previously paid issue fee should be paid. ~ Manual of Patent Examining Procedure, Section
`1308.01 (Eighth Edition, August 2001).
`
`Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be directed to the Customer Service Center
`of the Office of Patent Publication at (703) 305-8283.
