This Act increased the discount on most patent-related fees payable to the United State Patent and Trademark Office by small and micro entities. Starting December 30, 2022, the discount on most fees payable by a small entity was increased from 50% to 60% of the undiscounted rate, and the discount on fees payable by micro entities was increased from 75% to 80% of the undiscounted rate. However, according to the USPTO website, the change in fees does not apply to issue fees that are due on applications where the USPTO has already sent a notice of allowance setting the issue fee. In such cases the fee payable is that stated on the notice of allowance.
