What is the individual designation fee structure for international design applications designating the United States?
The United States has implemented a two-part individual designation fee structure for international design applications designating the U.S. under the Hague Agreement:
1. A first part payable at filing
2. A second part payable upon allowance of the application
It’s important to note that the fee amounts may change over time. As the MPEP states, “The amounts of the first and second part individual designation fees are subject to future changes.”
For more information on fees, refer to MPEP § 2910 and MPEP § 2920.06.
