Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules correct an error in the Trade Marks and Service Marks (Fees) Rules 1987. In the draft of those Rules in respect of which notice was published under section 40(3) of the Trade Marks Act 1938 (provision for the making of representations upon draft Rules) it was indicated that the renewal fee payable on form TM 11 would be increased from £198 to £205. Because of an error of transcription, those Rules were made prescribing that fee as only £79. These Rules restore the fee to the intended £205.
