Further to our previous post in June 2017 about this matter, on July 18, 2017, the Office of the President of Argentina published in the Official Bulletin Resolution 311-E / 2017, the planned increase of official fees for intellectual property. The official fee increase will occur in two steps. The first phase will go into effect on August 1, 2017. The second phase will go into effect on October 1, 2017.

If you would like to know exact price increase, we are currently preparing an English translation of the Resolution Annex (Table IF-2017-14791841-APN-MP). Please send an e-mail to tara.nicoll@moellerip.com.

On the same date a second resolution, Resolution 202/2017 was published. The second resolution refers to the creation and opening of the Department Registry of Transfer of Rights of the Directorate of Technology Transfer for the processing of requests for transfers and changes of ownership on patent and utility model applications, whether these are pending or granted.
