Text of the Notification of the Government of the United States of America dated July 15, 1983, stating a change in the fees charged by the Agricultural Research Culture Collection

NOTIFICATION

As a result of recent policy changes, the Agricultural Research Culture Collection (NRRL) henceforth will charge a user fee for deposit and distribution of microbial cultures maintained in conjunction with U.S. and foreign patent applications.* User fees apply to patent cultures only; as it has in the past, the Agricultural Research Culture Collection will continue to exchange other microbial germplasm with the scientific community without charge. The fee schedule will apply to all patent cultures deposited after September 30, 1983.** A fee of $500.00 will be charged for each strain, payable at the time of deposit. A $20.00 fee will be charged for the distribution of all released patent cultures that have been deposited after September 30, 1983. There will be no charge for distribution of patent cultures already on deposit or for others received before this; date. Checks, in U.S. dollars, should be made payable to the Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture. United States Department of Agriculture laboratories and designated cooperators will be exempt from fee assessment.

* Heretofore no fees have been charged by the Agricultural Research Culture Collection (see the January 1981 issue of Industrial Property/La Propriété industrielle).

** By virtue of Rule 12.2(c) of the Regulations under the Budapest Treaty, the fees will enter into force on October 30, 1983 (see the second paragraph of the notification).
