According to the Ministry Decree No. 39/2017 new official fees are applicable in the Industrial Property Office of Mozambique as from 15 July 2017.

The last amendment of the official fees in Mozambique had been made in 2006. Therefore the new decree updates and increases the fees for the several registration actions regarding trademarks, patents, utility models, designs and the remaining industrial property rights.

Furthermore the new table of fees published by the Ministry Decree No. 39/2017 appears to simplify the calculation of the relevant items e.g. the application fee for trademarks is a single fee instead of a group of fees (request fee, publication fee, examination fee, etc.).

Some new specific fees are adopted for instances regarding the recordal of a change of representative (1500 MZN), requesting urgent certificates (4000 MZN whereas the normal certificate fee will be 1275 MZN), requesting patent substantive examination (10000 MZN) and requesting the conversion of patent into utility model (3000 MZN).
