During the webinar, we will provide an overview of the fee increases and discuss a number of changes associated with the fee schedule. For instance, on the patent side, we will discuss the 7.5% across-the-board increase in fees, as well as fees associated with timing thresholds for continuing applications, and on the trademark side, we will detail the various fee increases and address new fees including the insufficient information fee and free-form text box fee.

On June 4, 2026, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. v. Amarin Pharma, Inc.

AIPLA Files Amicus Brief in Range of Motion Products, LLC v. Armaid Company Inc.
April 20, 2026
Arlington, VA — April 17, 2026 — The American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Range of Motion Products, LLC v. Armaid Company Inc., No. 23-2427, supporting rehearing and rehearing en banc. AIPLA urges the Court to restore clarity to design patent law by (1) reaffirming that Gorham v. White (1871) provides the sole governing test for infringement and forecloses any separate “plainly dissimilar” threshold, and (2) confirming that claim construction may not be used to exclude any visual portions of the overall claimed design.
