Latest NewsIP NewsDECISIONS ANNOUNCED BY EPO ENLARGED BOARD OF APPEAL - Mar 2010
Three important decisions have been announced by the European Patent Office Enlarged Board of Appeal:
NEW EPO FEES - EFFECTIVE 1 APRIL 2010 - Feb 2010 The new levels applying to fee payments on or after 1 April 2010 represent an increase of around 5%. Although in some cases early payment of fees might be considered in order to avoid the increase, the potential benefit will need to be balanced against available budget resources and the additional administrative cost and effort of bringing forward actions needed to enable fees to be paid early. From 1 October 2009, trade mark applications filed online at the UKIPO cost £30 less. The fee is £170 for one class plus £50 for each further class. There is also a new service named “Right Start”, under which only half the filing fee is paid at the outset.
