Patent protection is granted for a limited period, generally 20 years from the filing date of the application.
The fee for each claim over 20 has doubled from $100 to $200 for large entities, while the fee for each independent claim over three has increased from $480 to $600. These adjustments signal a clear policy intent to encourage narrower, more efficient claim sets and reduce examination burden.
The current USPTO Fee Schedule indicates that the fees due at each maintenance interval are as follows: 3-3.5 years: $2,000 for large entities and $800/$400 for small/micro entities.
