EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not Part of the Rules)

These Rules revoke and replace the Registered Designs (Fees) Rules 1995 (S.I. 1995/2165). These Rules refer to fewer Registered Designs Forms than previously because their number is reduced by the Registered Designs Rules 1995 (S.I. 1995/2912) (rule 4 and Schedule 1). Fees in respect of several matters have been further aligned with fees prescribed for corresponding matters under the Patents (Fees) Rules 1995 (S.I. 199512164). Any increases or changes take effect on 4 December 1995.

The changes in the fees are as follows:

(a) provision is made for applying on Form 9A to extend the period of protection into a fourth and fifth 5-year period, the fees being £310 and £450 respectively;

(b) the additional fee payable in respect of extra time for making application to extend the period of protection is increased from £18 to £24 for each extra month up to a maximum of 6 months;

(c) the fee, when applying on Form 19A for settlement of the terms of a licence of right, is £50.

It is estimated that the total amount of fees collected per annum under these Rules will be about 0.5% greater than the amount collected per annum under the Registered Designs (Fees) Rules 1992 (S.I. 1992/617) and under the Registered Designs (Fees) Rules 1995 (S.I. 1995/2165).

1 1949 c.88; sections 36 and 40 of the Registered Designs Act 1949 were amended by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (c.48), section 272 and Schedule 3, paragraphs 26 and 30.

4 S.I. 1995/2165.

5 S.I. 1995/2912.
