I would be disappointed, though not at all surprised, if the House passed a version of patent reform without provisions ending fee diversion. Perhaps the matter will be resolved in committee, and patent law can finally be rid of the albatross of fee diversion. Otherwise, likely we can all anticipate significantly higher fees from the USPTO, resulting from its new fee-setting authority.
