Posted by: Frédéric Glaize @ 15.01"Ireland, Portugal, Sweden and the UK have decided to withdraw from the system of national search requests with effect from 1 January 2009. ... For marks with a reception date in 2009, national searches will be carried out in the 12 offices that continue to participate, and the new fee will be €144."
"The 12 national offices continuing to participate are: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Lithuania, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Finland."
