Most patent protection in Croatia is obtained through the European Patent Office: a European patent validated in Croatia. The figures on this page count only applications filed directly with Croatia's own patent office, so they understate its market. See Europe (EPO, 39 states).
Our estimate is about US$3,087 to take a PCT application to grant in Croatia. That is about US$1,500 in official fees and US$1,587 in attorney fees. By stage: filing US$1,000, search US$300, examination request US$740, office action response US$420 and grant / issuance / publication US$628 (one office action response included). Renewal fees over the patent's life add an estimated US$8,004. These are estimates only, for a standard application (10 claims, 30 pages, a company applicant): the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.
