Decrease of official fees for the application and registration of community trade marks as of May 1, 2009

The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) will decrease its fees considerably as of May 1, 2009.

  • The basic application fee (1 to 3 classes) will be € 1.050.-- for an application by mail or facsimile, and € 900.-- for an online application. The additional class fee of € 150.-- per class from the fourth class onwards remains the same.
  • There will be no registration fees.
  • The fee for the designation of the European Community within an international trade mark is decreased to € 870.--.
  • For all Community trademarks applied for before May 1, 2009 and for which the request to pay the registration fees has not been received by May 1 no registration fees are due.

In view of this reduction of OHIM fees, we will decrease our attorneys fees accordingly, resulting in a cut in the total application and registration costs by approximately 30%.
