1415 Reissue Filing and Issue Fees [R-2] - 1400 Correction of Patents
1415 Reissue Filing and Issue Fees [R-2]
The reissue applicant is permitted to present every claim that was issued in the original patent for the basic filing fee. In addition to the basic filing fee, the filing or later presentation of each independent claim which is in excess of the number of independent claims in the original patent requires a fee. In addition, the filing or later presentation of each claim (whether independent or dependent) in excess of 20, and also in excess of the number of claims in the original patent, requires a fee. Fees for claims in reissue continued prosecution applications are calculated in the same manner as outlined above. The Office has prepared Form PTO/SB/56, Reissue Application Fee Transmittal Form which is designed to assist in the correct calculation of reissue filing fees.
