Trademark Fees to Increase October 4, 2025

The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 23, 2025 No. 1459 amends the Regulations on Patent and Other Fees.

The most significant change concerns the fees charged for the examination of a trademark application (par. 2.4 of the Annex to the Regulations) and the renewal of a trademark (ibid, par. 2.22).

The new calculation method will take into account not only the number of classes of the International Classification of Goods and Services, but also the number of items of goods and services: 500 rubles (about EUR 5-6) will be added to each of these fees for each item of goods or services in the list of goods and services in one class, over 10 items.

The new fees will apply from October 4, 2025.

The Decree also provides for other changes.
