Price increase for registration of intellectual property rights in Ukraine
On September 19, 2007, the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1148 was adopted “On the introduction of the rules to the order of payment for elections, connected with the rights to property and property rights”. This resolution radically changes the tariffs for the registration of trademarks and other objects of intellectual property. Consider the example of the registration of the combined brand "Brand" for 3 classes :
Thus, tariffs are increased several times and are tied to the number of classes of goods and services. That is, if we had calculated the registration of the brand in 7 classes, the difference would be enormous. An increase in tariffs will immediately lead to an increase in prices for the registration of trademarks under an accelerated procedure and other additional opportunities. Moreover, the decree takes effect from the moment Ukraine joins the WTO. This circumstance completely confuses the rules of the game, since firstly, it is not clear when Ukraine “enters”, and secondly, the application for registration of a trademark under the standard procedure takes one and a half years. It turns out that part of the payments can be paid at today's prices, and some still on the "tomorrow". One thing is clear for sure: the most costly payment - fees for filing an application for registration of a trademark can still be time to pay.
| Today | In the near future | |
| Application Fees | Grade 1 - 600 UAH. 2nd - 300 UAH. 3rd - 300 UAH. | Grade 1 - 1000 UAH. 2nd - 1000 UAH. 3rd - 1000 UAH. |
| Additionally per image in color | 200 UAH | 500 UAH |
| Publishing fees | 3 classes - 120 UAH. | 3 classes - 450 UAH. |
| Additionally per image in color (publ.) | 40 UAH | 100 UAH |
| Fee for issuing a certificate | 85 UAH | 85 UAH |
| Amount: | 1645 UAH.00 cop. | 3635 UAH.00 cop. |
