Change of Official Fees for Trademarks
The official fees for an application and a registration, a renewal registration and a supplementary registration of a trademark/service mark will be changed as of April 1, 2012 in order to broaden the chances of choosing marks of others by preventing too many designation of goods/services and also to expedite examination procedures. The change will apply to trademark/service mark applications which were filed on or after April 1, 2012 and the fee can be reduced when a registration fee is paid by abandoning unnecessary goods/services.
