How to submit maintenance fee payments for multiple patents?

When submitting maintenance fee payments for multiple patents, you can use a single payment submission. The MPEP states:

“A single fee transmittal form may be used for submitting multiple maintenance fee payments.” (MPEP 2515)

To do this effectively:

  • Include all necessary information for each patent on the fee transmittal form
  • Ensure the total fee amount is correct for all patents included
  • Clearly indicate which patents are covered by the payment

This method can simplify the payment process when managing multiple patents.
