What fees can be charged to a USPTO deposit account?

A USPTO deposit account can be used to pay various fees related to patent applications and services. According to the MPEP:

Filing, issue, appeal, international-type search report, international application processing, international design application fees, petition, and post-issuance fees may be charged against these accounts if sufficient funds are on deposit to cover such fees.

Specifically, fees that can be charged include:

• Filing fees (37 CFR 1.16)
• Processing fees (37 CFR 1.17)
• Issue fees (37 CFR 1.18, subject to certain conditions)
• Appeal fees
• International application fees
• Petition fees

However, fees under 37 CFR 1.19 (document supply fees), 1.20 (post-issuance fees), and 1.21 (miscellaneous fees) generally cannot be charged through a general authorization, with some exceptions.
