The FY2027 President's Budget requests $4.30B for USPTO Patents, within Commerce's Salaries and Expenses account. That is up 2.9% on the FY2026 figure of $4.18B, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $4,181.4M |
| FY2027 | request | $4,302.5M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Commerce discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Commerce's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds the Patent Program, the patent examining function and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which examine applications and issue timely, durable patents to protect intellectual property and promote innovation.
Extracted from U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, p. 16. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
47 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
