Currently, it is expected that the Egypt Trademark Office will
raise the official fees pertaining to the trademark and design
prosecution.
The relevant decree has still not entered into force, although
the implementation date has been listed as September 5th
of 2019.
In light of the above, we recommend our clients, considering
taking an action in Egypt as to the trademark and design
prosecution, should take necessary steps as soon as possible not to
be affected from new increased official fees.
