New Patent Filing Alert in Egypt

As of June 2025, the Egyptian Intellectual Property Authority (EGIPA) has enforced Decision No. 34 of 2025, introducing a late patent examination fee of EGP 25,000 (approx. USD 503) for requests submitted more than 3 months after the national filing date. This measure is immediately effective and accompanies a general increase in official fees across multiple stages of the patent process.

If you file or manage patents in Egypt, now is the time to review your timelines and ensure you’re fully aligned.
