PCT Fee Tables

(amounts on 10 December 2010, unless otherwise indicated)

The following Tables show the amounts and currencies of the main PCT fees which are payable to the receiving Offices (ROs) and the
International Preliminary Examining Authorities (IPEAs) during the international phase under Chapter I (Tables I(a) and I(b)) and under
Chapter II (Table II). Fees which are payable only in particular circumstances are not shown; nor are details of certain reductions and refunds
which may be available; such information can be found in the PCT Applicant’s Guide, Annexes C, D and E. Note that all amounts are subject to
change due to variations in the fees themselves or fluctuations in exchange rates. The international filing fee may be reduced by CHF 100, 200
or 300 where the international application, or part of the international application, is filed in electronic form, as prescribed under Item 4(a), (b), (c)
and (d) of the Schedule of Fees (annexed to the Regulations under the PCT) and the PCT Applicant’s Guide, paragraph 202(A). A 90%
reduction in the international filing fee (including the fee per sheet over 30) and the handling fee, as well as an exemption from the transmittal
fee payable to the International Bureau as receiving Office, is also available to applicants from certain States—see footnotes 2 and 13. (Note
that if the CHF 100, 200 or 300 reduction, as the case may be, and the 90% reduction are applicable, the 90% reduction is calculated after the
CHF 100, 200 or 300 reduction.) The footnotes to the Fee Tables follow Table II.
