EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules revoke and replace the Trade Marks and Service Marks (Fees) Rules 1992 (S.I. 1992/1069, as amended), and make changes consequent upon the Trade Marks Act 1994. Changes of substance are as follows-

(a) the introduction of a class fee for applications for registration or renewal of a registration which cover goods and services falling in more than one class of the international classification, consequent upon the introduction of "multi-class filings" (i.e. the ability to file single applications covering several classes rather than a single class - as was the case under the previous Rules);

(b) the re-introduction of a fee for opposing the registration of a trade mark or for seeking its revocation or rectification of the register;

(c) the introduction of a fee for extensions of the time-limits in which to carry out the registrar's instructions; this fee will apply to all extensions of time-limits requested after advertisement of the mark for opposition purposes and to any requests for extensions of time-limits sought after the first extension of three months following a hearing before the registrar;

(d) the introduction of a fee for conversion of an application from one made under the Trade Marks Act 1938 (as amended) to one made under the Trade Marks Act 1994; this is a facility available under the transitional provisions of Schedule 3 to the 1994 Act during the first six months of the operation of that Act; and

(e) the introduction of fees to cover division and merger of applications for registration, and merger of registrations; these are new facilities introduced by the Act.

Most of the fees in respect of other matters have been retained at the 1992 levels.
