In the US, a payment shortage of $10 for a annuity fee led to abandonement of the patent, which took some effort to correct (see: http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2009/08/patent-office-keeps-check-lets-patent-go-abandoned-for-being-10-short.html)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-45453137749100174602009-08-12T21:59:45.219+01:002009-08-12T21:59:45.219+01:00On the contrary, if the proposed fee changes go ah...On the contrary, if the proposed fee changes go ahead, the saving will continue and will increase (for search and examination fees) to £30 each.
