  "text": "(This note is not part of the Rules)\nUpon consolidation, with modifications, of the Patents Rules 1982, (S.I. 1982/717 as amended), by the Patents Rules 1990 (S.I. 1990/2384), (“the 1990 Rules”), these Rules revoke and replace the Patents (Fees) Rules 1990. They come into force on 7 January 1991, the date upon which the 1990 Rules come into force.\nWith regard to the fees prescribed under the Patents (Fees) Rules 1990 (effective from 10 September 1990), Form 13/77 (payment of additional fee under section 25(4) of the Patents Act 1977) is deleted and its function and associated fee incorporated into Form 12/77. A further fee of £105 is introduced on Form 9/77 for a supplementary search under section 17(8) of the Patents Act 1977, in addition to two new fees (£11 each), which are prescribed in relation to Forms 8A/77 and 8B/77 (samples of micro-organisms) as a result of revisions contained in the 1990 Rules.",
