question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to The Patents and Patents (Fees) (Amendment) Rules 2017, what assessment has made of the potential effect of the increase in fees on the number of patent applications.

uin	121128
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2018 answer text <p>The fee changes are being made after a full public consultation and Impact Assessment (<a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposed-changes-to-statutory-patents-fees" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposed-changes-to-statutory-patents-fees</a>). Past experience has shown that previous fee increases have resulted in small or no changes in the number of patent applications. The new fees remain modest but are designed to encourage businesses and, in particular, individuals to consider carefully – before they apply – whether patent protection will be of benefit to them. We therefore expect to see a decrease in the number of speculative applications, and applications with little chance of successfully being granted a patent. The Impact Assessment modelled a 10% decrease in the number of applications on this basis, but no decrease is expected in the number of valid patents being granted to innovators. This will ensure that valuable patent examiner resources can be more focussed on patent applications with a prospect of success, to the benefit of innovative businesses.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 17/01/2018 17:50:40 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah previous answer version 33379 answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
