EU Community Trademark Fees Drop 40% in May

Community trademark fees, fees for registering a trademark in the European Union, will drop 40% in May.  This will bring the cost of Community trademarks down to about €900, or approximately $786.00 USD.  The European Commission is currently working on a community trademark fee that merges the application fee and the registration fees into one payment.  Applications that are currently under consideration for which a request for payment has not been issued by the European Commission will pay the new, lower fee.
