General Remarks

The minimum service charges include the usual administrative work and general expenses but not the attorney’s work, the correspondence and the value-added tax. Official fees are subject to change. A surcharge (30 - 100%) may be applied for urgent work. If the same action may be taken simultaneously for a plurality of cases, an adequate reduction of the attorney’s fee may be applied. If an annuity/maintenance fee for a patent or application represented directly or indirectly by us is paid directly without our assistance, our representation retains. Even if the representation is retained, we are automatically relieved of observing due dates and sending out reminders with respect to subsequent annuities/maintenance fees of said patent or application and of any responsibility in case of lapse of the patent or application for failure to pay a further annuity/maintenance fee in due time. All orders and work are carried out according to our General Conditions.
