Cayman Islands - Increase in Official Fees

We have just been advised by the Cayman Islands Registry that the official fees for intellectual property matters will increase quite significantly from 1 January 2010. The filing fee for a patent application, for instance, will increase from US$182.93 to US$243.91.

In view of the above, we would recommend that you send us any new instructions for filing or renewing your intellectual property applications, or recording any changes to the proprietors' details as soon as possible, so as to benefit from the current fee scale.

We look forward to being of further assistance to you in this or any other jurisdiction.
