Serbian IPO Amends Certain Official Fees

Amendments to the Law on the Republic Administrative Fees entered into force in Serbia on December 20, 2022 amending certain official fees payable to the Serbian Intellectual Property Office.

Most notably, the fee for filing a request to enter a European patent into the IPO’s Patent Register increased from EUR 3.5 to EUR 78. Also, a EUR 63 fee for issuing a Letter Patent in electronic form has been introduced (this service was previously available but free of charge). Obtaining a paper copy of a Letter Patent is no longer mandatory, but it is still possible and costs approx. EUR 2 per page.
