International design applications are subject to the payment of three types of fees, all payable in Swiss francs (CHF):
- a basic fee (397 CHF for one design; 50 CHF for each additional design included in the same application);
- a publication fee (17 CHF for each reproduction; 150 CHF for each page on which one or more reproductions are shown); and
- a standard designation fee or an individual designation fee for each contracting party where you seek protection. Note: a three-level structure applies to standard designation fees, reflecting the level of examination carried out by the contracting party.
