## Abstract

The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) is amending the rules of practice in patent cases to reduce patent ``statutory'' fee amounts to conform to the fee amounts set by law in the United States Patent and Trademark Office Reauthorization Act, Fiscal Year 1999 (Pub. L. 105- 358). The PTO is reducing, by a corresponding amount, a few fees that track the statutory fees. The PTO is also reducing a non-statutory fee to reflect current business practice. This final rule supersedes the final rule that was published on July 24, 1998, and corrected on September 3, 1998.
