Objections and oppositions: If IPOI or EUIPO raises an objection, or if a third party opposes your application, additional fees apply. Where this arises, written estimates are provided before any further work is undertaken.
Enforcement matters: Opposition proceedings, cease and desist correspondence, and infringement matters are quoted on a case-by-case basis. As a practising solicitor, all enforcement work is handled directly without referral to outside counsel unless the matter requires it.
Hourly rate: Our standard hourly rate is €300. The fixed fees above are derived from the time we estimate each matter will take at that rate. Any work falling outside a fixed fee is charged at the hourly rate, agreed with you in advance.
All fees are fixed: A written fixed-fee quotation is provided before any engagement. You will not receive a bill you were not expecting.
VAT: No VAT is chargeable on our fees. Official registry fees (IPOI, EUIPO, USPTO, WIPO) are government charges paid directly to the registry.
Payments: Professional fees are payable in advance. Registry fees are collected at the point of filing.
