What is the individual designation fee for the United States in an international design application?

The individual designation fee for the United States in an international design application consists of two parts, as described in MPEP 2910:

“The United States has made a declaration under Article 7(2) and requires an individual designation fee that is payable in a first part at filing and second part payable upon allowance of the application by the USPTO.”

The fee structure is as follows:

1. First part: Consists of the combined amounts of the basic filing fee (37 CFR 1.16(b)), search fee (37 CFR 1.16(l)), and examination fee (37 CFR 1.16(p)) for a design application, established in Swiss currency.
2. Second part: The issue fee (37 CFR 1.18(b)), payable within the period specified in a notice of allowance.

Both parts of the fee are discounted for small and micro entities.
