1.4 Fees
If, at the time of filing the first set of claims, the divisional application comprises more than 15 claims, a claims fee is payable in respect of each claim in excess of that number (see A‑III, 9). Claims fees are payable even if they were paid in the parent application in respect of claims relating to the subject-matter now the subject of the divisional application (see A‑III, 9).
