Where the documentation filed under Article 7 or Article 8 at first registration is unchanged, the applicant may refer to it instead of resubmitting.
- The change fee is 40 per cent of the registration fee for a variation, and 10 EUR for a minor variation notified as part of the technological process (Article 11 as replaced by the 86/25 amendment).
- The amendment application is a cover letter, the completed amendment form for the class, documentation on the change sufficient for its assessment, and proof of fee payment (Article 14).
