Bill > A07717

This bill amends the New York State General Business Law to increase the fee for trademark registration and renewal from fifty dollars to one hundred dollars. Specifically, the legislation modifies Section 360-p of the general business law, which governs the filing fees associated with trademark registration. When an individual or business applies to register or renew a trademark with the New York Secretary of State, they will now be required to pay a $100 fee, doubled from the previous $50 fee. The bill includes an immediate effective date, meaning the new fee will go into effect as soon as the bill is signed into law. This increase in fees may help cover administrative costs associated with trademark registration and potentially generate additional revenue for the state while providing businesses and individuals with continued trademark protection services.
