Central Govt. by way of notification dated 6th May 2013 has published Draft Patent Rules 2013 to amend Patent Rules 2003 and has invited objections and suggestions.
Mainly the Draft Rules have proposed a 10% additional surcharge to be levied on the fees under various categories in case the Application for Patent or other documents are filed in physical mode, hence making electronic filing a more preferred option in future.
