a mr. lee if you'll talk about how that impacts. >> thank you, we actually have precise numbers international trademark association has estimated that the cost could be anywhere from a hundred and 50 to $500,000. the average numbers at $95,000. this is a lot of money for small businesses. i think it's fair to say that it's too much money. mr. williams had testified to agree that many businesses are based on limited resources. they are just not able for the opposition in the capitalization process. mr. lee how does that work with the trademarks. what kind of impact does it have on your business making decision? her thousand dollars? >> nothing. but i'm more concerned how it impacts your brand a lot of products launch an extension. for the question senator, yes while the financial fact is significant. it's not so much is the cost of filing. it's a private label of target that costs over 30 of those brand. i brand doesn't come up in a room with a bunch of lawyers. a proximally over the process of

we also came to see as mr. lee had testified that some applicants would just place brand-name cards on top of a t-shirt, take a photograph, and then submit this to pto as a specimen of yesterday. we sometimes had the impression that people might have been taking things from their closets, from their kitchens, depending on the particular classes we were seeing outside of class 25 nesin order to enga in this application process of pto. so the ultimate result of our analysis was our estimation that t two-thirds of the applications filed in 2017 solely in class 25 apparel were fraudulent in nature. nevertheless, as i said in my opening testimony, 60% of these were approved for publication by pto in the official gazettes and ult pat ultimately 39% -- we suspect we would find similar numbers in certain other classes of goods and services. >> to what extent do you think some of the changes the uspto have made would impact that number if we were to do it, it was implemented the first part of august, if we were to go back a
