(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules prescribe fees in relation to matters arising under the Trade Marks Act 1994 (“the Act”) and the Trade Marks Rules 2008 (SI 2008/1797) (which revoked and replaced the Trade Marks Rules 2000 (SI 2000/136) (“the 2000 Rules”). These Rules revoke and replace the Trade Marks (Fees) Rules 2000 (SI 2000/137) (“the Fees Rules”) insofar as they relate to fees payable under the Act and the 2000 Rules. No change has been made to the level of fees nor to the circumstances in which a fee is payable. The Fees Rules continue to prescribe fees in relation to matters arising under the Trade Marks (International Registration) Order 1996 (SI 1996/714).
Where a form is specified in the Schedule in relation to any matter, that form must be sent to the registrar together with the relevant fee for that matter, unless the Trade Marks Rules 2008 specify otherwise (rule 2).
Rule 3 specifies the circumstances in which the registrar shall repay a fee or any amount paid in excess of the specified fee.
A separate impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it is made in consequence of the revocation and replacement of the 2000 Rules by the Trade Marks Rules 2008. However, a full impact assessment of the effect that the Trade Marks Rules 2008 will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the UK Intellectual Property Office, Trade Marks Law Section, Concept House, Cardiff Road, Newport NP10 8QQ and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside that instrument on the OPSI website. Copies have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
