【欧盟外观专利年费】将于2025年5月1日起大幅上调
Time: 2025-04-02 Click count: 872

12月4日,欧盟知识产权局发布通知,将于2025年5月1日起上调外观设计设计专利年费,并修改续展缴费期限规则。

关于通知的内容,主要有以下几个方面是需要申请人格外注意的:

一、欧盟外观专利续展费用大幅上涨

二、续展期限规则发生变化

1、修订条例将改变续期的计算方式。已注册的欧盟外观设计将在注册到期日(以前是外观设计到期月份的后一天)到期。并有六个月的宽展期来进行续展,从该外观设计到期后的第二天开始。

2、对于续展期在2025年5月1日之前的外观设计专利,将继续使用原规则来确定续展期和宽限期。

例如该外观设计于2020年4月15日提交,则必须在 2024 年 11 月 1 日至 2025 年 4 月 30 日之间进行续展。宽限期为 2025 年 5 月 1 日至 10 月 31 日。

3、对于续展期在新规则适用(2025 年 5 月 1 日)或之后开始的外观设计,将使用新规则。

因此,如果该外观设计是在 2020 年 11 月 23 日提交的,则它将于 2025 年 11 月 23 日到期。必须在 2025 年 5 月 24 日至 2025 年 11 月 23 日期间续展。宽限期为 2026 年 11 月 24 日至 5 月 23 日。

4、续展设计的费用取决于提交续展申请的时间:

①对于在修订条例适用日期(2025 年 5 月 1 日)之前收到的续展申请,将适用调整前的费用。

②对于在 2025 年 5 月 1 日当天或之后收到的续展申请,无论采用何种付款方式或何时处理付款,都将适用调整后的费用。

5、需要注意的是:

根据新的续展期,用户可以选择在新规则开始之前或之后(2025 年 5 月 1 日)续展其设计,以享受优惠的费用。

并且,只能在该外观设计到期前的六个月内进行续展。
