Sir,
Speech by Mr G.A. Higginson, Secretary for Economic Services, in the Legislative Council
on 15 May 1985
Registration of Patents (Fees)(Amendment) Rules 1985
I move the resolution standing in my name on the
Order Paper.
2.
The Registration of Patents (Fees) (Amendment)
Rules 1985, which were made by the Registrar of Patents on
18 March 1985, increase the fees payable for various
proceedings under the Registration of Patents Ordinance.
3.
The fees were last revised in 1981. The proposed
increases are designed to take account of the cost of the
service provided and the increase in this cost since 1981.
4.
Sir, I beg to move.
