The importance of an i-DEPOT

"I own a furniture factory and am producing a special line of furniture. The production process and the marketing plan still have to be drawn up. One of my representatives had got hold of the drawings of the new furniture and filed them at the BOIP as designs. It is a good thing I have the i-DEPOT because it will enable me to go to court and demand that the design rights relating to the unauthorised registration are declared invalid."

What are the fees for submitting an i-DEPOT?

Submitting an i-DEPOT online costs € 35. Submitting an i-DEPOT envelope costs € 45.
If you plan to submit i-DEPOTs on a regular basis, you might consider the option of opening a credit account. In that case you pay a once-only activation fee of € 350 and then buy i-DEPOTs at quantity discount rates. The more i-DEPOTS you submit, the lower the rate. The rate varies according to the number of megabytes used.
