EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules revoke and replace the Trade Mark (Fees) Rules 1998 (S.I.1998/1776 ).
The changes reflect the provision made in the Trade Mark Rules 2000 for separate rules dealing
with the procedure on applications for revocation (on grounds of non-use), revocation (on grounds
other than non-use), invalidation and rectification, and the introduction of separate forms for each of
these proceedings. No change has been made to the level of fees nor to the circumstances in which
a fee is payable.
