Cost is built per jurisdiction, and the total is driven less by professional fees than by how many jurisdictions and classes the programme actually needs.
Three components appear in every jurisdiction: the official fee set by the local registry, the local agent's fee where a local signature is required, and the firm's coordination and prosecution fee. Official fees vary by more than an order of magnitude across the 47 jurisdictions, and several registries price per class while others price per application — which is why two programmes covering the same number of countries can differ sharply in cost.
Chang Tsi & Partners provides a consolidated written estimate covering all target jurisdictions before any filing is made, broken down by jurisdiction and by stage, together with the foreseeable post-filing costs — office action responses, registration fees, and the first renewal or annuity — so that the multi-year figure is visible at the outset rather than arriving in instalments.
The firm works with fixed fees, hourly rates, and retainer arrangements depending on the type of matter, and can contract in bilingual form and settle in multiple currencies.
