The search fee paid in US dollars by US filers for a PCT search carried out by the EPO dropped today. I first reported this to you on July 20, 2018 (blog article).
Previously $2207, it is now $2095.
Today is a big day for US utility filers who are claiming priority from a Chinese utility application
Yes, today is a big day. As I blogged a few days ago, today is the day that you will need to start providing a four-character DAS access code to the USPTO if your US utility patent application claims priority from a Chinese utility patent application (or utility model).
