What is the Hague System Fee Calculator and how is it used?
The Hague System Fee Calculator is an online tool provided by the International Bureau to help applicants determine the fees for an international design application. As mentioned in MPEP 2910:
“The International Bureau provides an online fee calculator tool (“Hague System Fee Calculator”) to help applicants quickly determine the amount of application fees that will be due (excluding any required transmittal fee).”
The calculator takes into account various factors, including:
- Number of designs in the application
- Number of reproductions
- Contracting Parties designated
The calculator provides the total fees due in Swiss currency. It’s important to note that this calculator does not include the transmittal fee for applications filed through the USPTO as an office of indirect filing.
