Tunisia Expected to Increase Official Fees
20-Feb-2019
TUNIS - The National Institute for Standardization and Industrial Property (INNORPI) in Tunisia announced that it will increase the official fees for all IP matters, including trademarks, patents and industrial designs, by approximately 100%, due to the devaluation of the local currency during the past years.
The Office stated that it has sent the proposal of suggested fees to the Ministry of Industry, which in turn would refer the matter to the Parliament to issue the related law.
It is expected that the new fees will be adopted in the next two months, taking into consideration that the current fees are adopted since April 17, 2001.
Meanwhile, it is advisable to expedite filing or renewal instructions prior to the implementation of new official fees.
