Civil Filing Fee Increase

Effective May 1, 2013, the civil case filing fee for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, will increase from $350 to $400, as approved by the Judicial Conference in its March 2013 session. This fee includes cases related patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property litigation.  The fee increase does not apply to miscellaneous case filings, for which the fee remains $46.
