CountIDS easily calculates the IDS size fee before you file, so you don’t have to.

  • Reads your IDSs and quickly works out the USPTO IDS size fee under 37 CFR 1.17(v).
  • Can automatically fetch your past IDSs from the USPTO, or read your uploaded PDF files.
  • Keeps a ledger for each application, so you can easily work out the fee for future IDSs.

An animated preview of the ledger: an IDS is added, its 38 references are read from a PDF, a second IDS fetched from the USPTO brings the running total to 109, and the size fee comes to $500.
