What is the current fee for electronically submitting a patent document for recordation?
As of the 2019 update to MPEP 302.06, the fee for electronically submitting a patent document for recordation is $0. The MPEP states:
If the request to record a document is submitted electronically, the fee is set forth in 37 CFR 1.21(h)(1), currently at $0.
This $0 fee for electronic submissions is a significant cost-saving measure for patent applicants and owners. However, it’s important to note that fees can change, and the MPEP advises:
Customers should check the current fee schedule on the Office website before submitting documents for recordation.
Always verify the current fees on the USPTO fee schedule before submitting any documents.
