The Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO) will increase the official fees by 20% for filing and expertise of the applications for Eurasian patents.
In particular, the official fee, which is nominated in rubles, for filing increases from 50 thousand (~510 USD) to 60 thousand (~615 USD). The same is applied to substantive expertise requests for applications with a single independent claim. The fee for the expertise of the second claim will cost 35 thousand instead of 30 thousand before it.
The cost of a patent grant increases to 40 thousand from 30 thousand as it was before.
Still, taking into account the devaluation of the exchange rate of the ruble to the US dollar by more than 15% from Summer 2024, the current increase of the official fees returns the amount of official fees calculated in USD almost to the same levels as in mid-2024.
