STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 14917 The intent of this legislation is to clarify that a fee is required for each class code in a trademark renewal application. FISCAL NOTE There are, in the trademark database, over 230 trademarks with multiple class codes that will begin renewing in 2006. Renewals are at a rate of approximately 10 percent. This would suggest a very small increase in revenue to the general fund.
