UK Design Fees Set for Reduction
27/07/2016
The UK Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO) is expected to introduce reduced fees for registered design protection from 1 October this year.
At present the official fees for filing UK design applications are low, at £60 for the first design in an application, and £40 for each additional design included in the same application. The UK IPO have introduced an online filing system to streamline the application process and make it more accessible, and with this comes a reduction in the costs of processing applications. Therefore, subject to all necessary approvals, from 1 October if applicants use the online filing system, it is expected that fees will be reduced to £50 for the first design, or £70 for up to 10 designs in a multiple design application, with a fee of £20 for every additional 10 designs in an application thereafter.
It is hoped that this reduction will provide an even greater incentive for businesses and designers to protect their valuable product designs. Furthermore, with recent guidance issued on design representations following the case of PMS International v Magmatic involving the popular “Trunki” product, this should also encourage the use of multiple design applications to cover a single product, taking account of the different ways of representation and the different features of appearance that such different representations can show.
There are a few other fee reductions proposed, mostly minor in nature, but the other significant shift in fees will come at renewal. Renewal fees are payable every 5 years for the life of the design (maximum 25 years available), and at present the fees increase significantly at each renewal, rising from £130 for a first renewal to £450 for the fourth and final renewal. The intention is for these to be reduced to £70 for the first renewal rising to only £140 for the fourth renewal. If you have a renewal fee due after 1 October 2016, it will be worth waiting until the new fees come into force before proceeding with your renewal payment.
With design registration remaining an underutilised intellectual property right despite the importance and value of design to the UK economy, it is hoped that these fee reductions will provide a further incentive for the system to be utilised.
