Dear Sirs,
We have been notified unofficially that effective from December 21, 2015; the official fees of most intellectual property transactions will be substantially increased. The fees of several IP transactions will be doubled 23 times or more. We have confirmed news that the new official fees in Kuwait will apply even to applications filed prior to December 21, 2015. If this proves to be true, it will mean that the fees for stages such as publication and registration will be doubled 23 times i.e. US$1586.00 for publication in the official Gazette and registration of one trademark in one class. We have not yet received the official notice of increase which is expected to be issued in the official gazette on 21 December, 2015

So far this news does not appear to have been reported elsewhere and so we wait for confirmation of the new fees.
