Please note that starting from 1 January 2024, there will be an average increase of 25% in official fees at the Eurasian Patent Office. For example, the basic official fee for filing a patent application will increase to 50000 RUB from 36000 RUB, the basic official fee for a substantive examination will increase to 50000 RUB from 40000 RUB, and the granting and publication fee will increase to 30000 RUB from 25000 RUB.
