## Abstract

The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) is amending the rules of practice in patent and trademark cases to adjust certain patent fee amounts to conform to the fee amounts set by law in the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 as part of the conference report (H. Rep. 106-479) on H.R. 3194, Consolidated Appropriations Act, Fiscal Year 2000. The text of the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 is contained in title IV of S. 1948, the Intellectual Property and Communications Omnibus Reform Act of 1999, which is incorporated by reference in Division B of the conference report. The PTO is also adjusting certain trademark fee amounts to recover the cost of all trademark activities as provided for in H.R. 3194 (S. 1948). In addition, the PTO is adjusting, by a corresponding amount, two patent fees that track the basic filing fee.
