Change in invoicing when withdrawing a national application
Change in invoicing when withdrawing a national application
We would like to inform you about our revised policy regarding invoicing for the withdrawal of applications for admission and/or plant breeders’ rights in the Netherlands.
This change aligns with the CPVO system and ensures a uniform and transparent invoicing process.
As of now, the following fees apply when withdrawing your national application:
25% of the DUS examination fee if the national application is withdrawn:
- before the first year of testing, after the closing date for the species in question, or
- 3 months before the deadline for submission of identity material when the period between the closing date and the date of submission of identity material is shorter than 3 months, or
- less than a month before or on the anniversary date for the submission of identity material in any subsequent year of testing.
100% of the DUS examination fee if the national application is withdrawn:
- after the deadline for submission of identity material in the first year of testing, or
- after the anniversary date for the submission of identity material in any subsequent year of testing.
An exception are national applications examined by a foreign research institute. If these national applications are withdrawn, we will charge the costs charged to us by the foreign research institute.
In this way, we adopt a uniform working method
We believe this makes it clear to you as an applicant what costs you can expect when withdrawing a national application.
This also ensures that the costs incurred by Naktuinbouw in preparation for the DUS-examination are reimbursed.
