NOTES ON THE BASIC PROPOSAL FOR THE REGULATIONS UNDER THE NEW ACT OF THE HAGUE AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGNS

Document prepared by the International Bureau

INTRODUCTION

The present document contains notes on the draft Regulations under the draft new Act contained in document H/DC/4. Where a provision is considered to be self-explanatory, no note has been provided.

The Regulations will eventually contain a Schedule of Fees. No draft of this has been provided at this stage, since it is considered that it is only when one gets close to the entry into force of the new Act that the cost of the procedure can be estimated with some certainty, taking into account, in particular, technologies available to the International Bureau at that time.
