What is the issue fee for a reissue patent?

The issue fee for a reissue patent is set by the USPTO and is subject to change. According to the MPEP:

“The issue fee for issuing each reissue patent is set forth in 37 CFR 1.18(a).”

To find the current issue fee for a reissue patent, you should refer to the latest fee schedule published by the USPTO. The fee may be different from the issue fee for original patents.

The USPTO provides Reissue Application Fee Transmittal Forms to assist in calculating the correct fees:

• For reissue applications filed on or after September 16, 2012, use Form PTO/AIA/50
• For reissue applications filed before September 16, 2012, use Form PTO/SB/56

You can find Form PTO/AIA/50 at www.uspto.gov/PatentForms. It’s important to use the correct form and refer to the current fee schedule to ensure accurate fee calculation and payment.
