The Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) presents his compliments to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and has the honor to notify him of the receipt, on February 1, 1999, of the communication of the Government of the United States of America, dated January 29, 1999, regarding the new schedule of fees of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), an international depositary authority under the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure, done at Budapest on April 28, 1977, and amended on September 26, 1980 (see Budapest Notification No. 11 of December 3, 1980). The text of that communication is attached.

Text of the Communication of the Government of the United States of America of January 29, 1999, regarding the new schedule of fees of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)

COMMUNICATION

We have received a notification from the American Type Culture Collection regarding a new schedule of fees for the furnishing of samples of all cultures deposited with it. In accordance with Rule 12.2(a) of the Regulations under the Budapest Treaty, I am pleased to notify you of the following changes in the fees:

  All ATCC Cultures Per Item 
  U.S. Non-Profit Institutions U.S. $95.00 to $204.00
  Foreign Non-Profit Institutions U.S. $95.001 to $204.002
  Other U.S. and Foreign Institutions U.S. $119.00 to $254.00

1 Additional handling and processing = U.S. $24.00 per item.

2 Additional handling and processing = U.S. $50.00 per item.

Because of the diversity of ATCC holdings, and the requirements for complicated and varied culture media and growth conditions, the fees for ATCC cultures vary. Therefore, the current fees have been listed as a range representing all currently available ATCC cultures.
