EPO Fees 2016
February 2016
Fees for European patents are adjusted by the EPO every two years; this year will see the first increase since 2014.
The EPO has published the fees that will apply from 1 April 2016. Most fees will see a small increase of around 1-2%, but many are not increasing at all. See CA/D 12/15 for the information in full.
The new fees shall be applicable for payments made on or after 1 April 2016, rather than on the due date of the fee. Click here to view the schedule.
