Low cost online European Registered Community Design (EU RCD)
GlobalIPCo has released an online system for filing EU Registered Community Designs (RCD) at low cost:
First embodiment: $627 / EUR556 (converted to US$ plus 4% currency conversion fee)
Embodiments 2-10: EUR371 (converted to US$ plus 4% currency conversion fee) per embodiment
Embodiments 11-50: EUR270 (converted to US$ plus 4% currency conversion fee) per embodiment
[Further discounted pricing is available to law firms]
Further reduce the EU RCD costs by including various embodiments in a single EU RCD application. As long as each embodiment cites the same applicant and the same main class, each embodiment (even if it is a different article) may be associated into one EU RCD.
Also see the comprehensive guide to filing an EU RCD online.
EU RCD design certificates take about a month to be issued, and GlobalIPCo’s pricing includes all costs (official fees, professional fees and disbursements) up to send the EU RCD registration certificate by email.
