Who is filing?

Applicant
Is the applicant an SME?

SME means fewer than 250 employees and turnover of up to €50,000,000 or a balance sheet total of up to €43,000,000, not part of a large group. Without an answer, patscenar.io calculates without an SME reduction.

Some offices grant reductions only to applicants based in their own country.

Further reductions
Does the applicant qualify for the EPO micro-entity reduction (−30 %)?

Further reductions follow from the details under “Who is filing?”.

Declare a willingness to license (license of right)?

Offering a license to anyone interested lowers the renewal fees at some offices.
