PCT Fee Tables

(amounts on 1 January 2019, unless otherwise indicated)

The following Tables show the amounts and currencies of the main PCT fees which are payable to the receiving Offices (ROs) and the International
Preliminary Examining Authorities (IPEAs) during the international phase under Chapter I (Tables I(a) and I(b)) and under Chapter II (Table II).
Fees which are payable only in particular circumstances are not shown; nor are details of certain reductions and refunds which may be available;
such information can be found in the PCT Applicant’s Guide, Annexes C, D and E. Note that all amounts are subject to change due to variations in
the fees themselves or fluctuations in exchange rates. The international filing fee may be reduced by CHF 100, 200 or 300 where the international
application, or part of the international application, is filed in electronic form, as prescribed under Item 4(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule of Fees
(annexed to the Regulations under the PCT) and the PCT Applicant’s Guide, paragraph 5.189. A 90% reduction in the international filing fee
(including the fee per sheet over 30), the supplementary search handling fee and the handling fee, as well as an exemption from the transmittal
fee payable to the International Bureau as receiving Office, is also available to applicants from certain States—see footnotes 2 and 15. (Note that
if the CHF 100, 200 or 300 reduction, as the case may be, and the 90% reduction are applicable, the 90% reduction is calculated after the CHF 100,
200 or 300 reduction.) The footnotes to the Fee Tables follow Table II.

Footnotes to fee tables:
1 Payable to the receiving Office in the currency or one of the currencies prescribed by it.
2 This fee is reduced by 90% where the applicant or, if there are two or more applicants, each applicant fulfills the criteria indicated on the PCT
website at: www.wipo.int/pct/en/fees. Note that the PCT Assembly adopted an Understanding, with effect from 11 October 2017, which
clarifies that this fee reduction is intended to apply only in the case where the applicants indicated in the request are the sole and true owners
of the application and under no obligation to assign, grant, convey or license the rights in the invention to another party which is not eligible for
the fee reduction.
3 Where the IA contains a sequence listing as a separate part of the description, this should preferably be furnished in accordance with Annex C,
paragraph 40, of the Administrative Instructions under the PCT, that is, in compliance with WIPO Standard ST.25 text format; no additional
fees are due for sequence listings filed in this format. Where, however, such sequence listings are filed in the form of an image file (e.g. PDF),
