New procedure for payment of application fees starting January 1, 2026
Starting January 1, 2026, we will introduce a new procedure for paying application fees for applications for listing and/or plant breeders’ rights in the Netherlands.
This new procedure ensures faster and more efficient processing of your submitted applications.
One-time deposit
You will make a one-time deposit. An application will be formally processed after the application fees have been paid. By setting up this deposit, you are guaranteed that your submitted application will be processed immediately. The date of receipt of your application will serve as the priority date of the application.
Payment of application fees
After receiving and processing your application, you will receive an invoice for the application fees as usual.
Payment is expected within the standard term of 30 days. If payment is not received, your application will be considered as not submitted.
Would you like to use this arrangement?
Please feel free to contact us.
