从2024年4月1日起,欧洲专利局的部分官方费用将略有增加。 例如,申请费、搜索费和审查费将增加约5-10%。 第10年及后续年度的续期费用将保持不变(1775欧元)。 第三年和第四年的续期费用增加最明显。第三年的续期费用将从530欧元增加到690欧元(增加160欧元,约30%),第四年的续期费用将从660欧元增加到845欧元(增加225欧元,约34%)。 由于欧洲专利局在加快其搜索和审查程序方面的努力,最近在授予专利方面已变得更快,欧洲专利局行政委员会已经接受了这部分费用增加。申请人可以节省程序方面的费用,这类费用相较于第三年和第四年续期费用增加后形成的数百欧元的差额更贵。 毫不意外,欧洲专利局决定增加最常支付的续期费用,即第三年和第四年的费用。这些之所以成为最常支付的续期费用是因为这是在结束国际阶段后进入欧洲专利阶段需立即缴纳的费用,并且在欧洲专利局提交的大部分欧洲专利申请实际上是进入欧洲专利阶段的PCT申请。 在任何情况下,第三年的续期费用可在费用到期日前6个月内支付,第四年的续期费用可在费用到期前3个月内支付。 因此,第三年和第四年的欧洲专利申请续期费用,可在2024年4月1日前支付,想要规避费用增加的,应尽快在2024年4月1日前支付这些费用。
