IP Australia Fee Review
As part of the 2019-20 fee review, IP Australia is seeking your feedback on the proposed fee changes.
After analysis and consideration of the submissions received earlier this year, a number have been incorporated into the proposed fee changes outlined in the draft Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS). IP Australia has also taken this opportunity to review the hearing costs that may be awarded for Patents, Trade Marks and Designs.
These changes have been released for public consultation on IP Australia's website, which is open until 16 February 2020.
