Notice of opposition
Up one level
If you wish to oppose the granting of a patent application then you need file a notice of opposition using a patents form 15. The notice of opposition must identify the grounds under which you oppose the patent application (regulation 48). A fee of $NZ 300 must also be filed. GST is payable on this fee by any party resident in New Zealand. The notice of opposition is not considered to have been filed if this fee is not paid. No other fees are payable to IPONZ until a case is ready for hearing, and a hearing is requested.
