阿联酋部长内阁发布了2023年第(112)号内阁决议,重点关注经济部提供的服务,特别是专利、工业品外观设计和实用新型方面的服务。修订后各项服务的收费结构均受到影响,包括年费、公告、转让、补正、申请恢复等服务收费。该决议定于2024年1月15日生效。 

这些费用调整的主要亮点包括: 

基于权利要求类别的实质审查: 

一项重大变更涉及根据权利要求数量调整实质审查费用。新的分类由三类(1-10项权利要求、11-30项权利要求和31-50项权利要求)组成,简化了审查过程,每个申请的权利要求上限为50项。

基于申请人身份的费用: 

现在将根据申请人的身份对费用进行分类,将其分为四类:自然人、公司、学术机构和中小企业。

年度维持费的引入: 

值得注意的是,此次新增了一项年度维持费,在专利的20年保护期内,每五年需增加一次年度维持费。

新服务的引入: 

针对新服务的费用进行了调整,如快速审查、小错误补正(而不是发布新的审查报告)、授权后补正和授权后复审。这些变化旨在提高专利审查过程的灵活性和效率。

恢复失效申请的时间限制: 

失效的专利申请现在可以自失效之日起九个月内恢复或重新生效,但须支付规定的费用。

延迟支付费用的月滞纳金: 

延迟支付工业产权服务的费用将被收取月滞纳金,这是一项新的措施。滞纳金的上限为10个月,这为及时履约提供了一个基本框架。
