HC Deb 25 February 1965 vol 707 c133W
51. Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade what increase in trade mark fees has been made in 1965; if he is aware that this will add to the cost of production at the present time; and what is the reason for the increase.

Mr. Darling

In order to meet increased costs of administration, the registration fee, giving rights for seven years, has been increased by £1 and the renewal fee, covering a period of 14 years, by £4. The effect on the costs of production must be infinitesimal.
