The Government Fee for Trademark application has been increased from Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 3,500. This hike is effective from 29th December2010. Applicants who have filed trade mark applications from 29 December 2010 onwards will have to pay the deficit amount of Rs.1,000/- (Rupees One thousand) per application in respect of applications filed from the date of notification till issuance of this notice, on or before 30th January,2011.
Considering the importance of a Trademark in trade and commerce, the hike in Government Fee for filing of Trademark Application will not deter proprietors from filing new Trademark Applications. In a constant attempt to make the online Trademark affairs more easy and systematic, the Indian Trademark Office has come up with large number of changes. Hopefully these changes will help clear the backlogs presently going on different issues in Indian Trademark Office.
