令和6年度中小企業等海外展開支援事業費補助金(海外出願支援事業)経済のグローバル化に伴い、中小企業においても海外進出が進んでおりますが、知的財産権は国ごとに独立しているため、発明について日本で特許を取得し、又は製品の名称について商標を登録しても外国では権利として成立せず、進出先においても特許権や商標権等は国ごとに取得が必要です。進出先での特許権や商標権の取得は、企業の独自の技術力やブランドの裏付けとなり海外での事業展開を進めることに有益であるとともに、模倣被害への対策に有効で、商標等を他社に先取りされ自社ブランドが使用できなくなるリスクを回避できます。

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently published notice that it intends to move forward with plans to increase trademark filing fees effective November 2024.
基本出願の出願手数料は 250 ドルから 350 ドルに増加します。不完全な申請の場合は追加 100 ドルです。USPTO の商標 ID マニュアルから事前に承認された指定商品・指定役務の記載を選択するのではなく、商品または役務の独自の説明を使用する場合は、1 クラスあたり 200 ドルの追加になります。また過度に長い指定商品・指定役務の記載(ID)の場合はクラス毎に 200 ドル (スペースと句読点を含む、最初の 1,000 文字を超える 1,000 文字の追加グループ毎) が加算されます(Character base limit)。
⚠文字は語(word)ではなく、charactersの数です。例えばtrademarkは1語ですが、characterの数は9(スペースも入れると10)です。適用となるベースは、1a, 1b 44, 66aですので、マドプロ経由の出願も1000 character ruleが適用されます。日本の類記載をそのまま翻訳して長いIDとなった場合は超過料金が凄いことになる可能性があります。11月の施行日よりも後の米国出願、米国指定の国際出願は指定商品・指定役務の記載の長さも気にする必要がありそうです。
