Regulatory AlertsPatents (Fees) Regulations 1953
The Government of the Virgin Islands promulgated these regulations to prescribe a fixed schedule of fees for patent applications, examinations, and maintenance. Applicants must pay specified charges for filing provisional or complete specifications, examiner references, sealing letters patent, and extending statutory deadlines. The schedule further outlines escalating annual renewal fees across a twelve-year patent term, plus additional charges for oppositions, searches, office copies, and agent licences.
