New Decisions of the Patent Office


The Egyptian Patent Office has recently issued two Ministerial decisions which are expected to be implemented shortly which stipulate that:

- It will not be possible to extend the 30-month time limit for entering the national phase under PCT Chapters I and II for an additional 3-month period upon payment of a substantial surcharge for late entry on the filing of a written request for such purpose as per the Ministerial Decree no. 23.

- The official fees for the examination will be increased from EGP 2,000 (approx. USD 338) to EGP 7,000 EGP (approx. USD 1,185) as per the stipulation of Ministerial Decree no. 22.
