Observancia de los derechos de propiedad intelectual

5. Article 41.2 addresses, among other things, the cost of judicial and administrative enforcement proceedings. Please describe any fees charged by judicial or administrative officials for filing legal actions involving intellectual property or for pursuing such actions once initiated, cite the legal authorities for such fees, and provide copies of the documents used to inform the public of such fees.

No fees are charged by judicial officials to file or prosecute legal actions involving intellectual property rights, except for the stamp duty payable on the issue of summons (which is the same for all matters, also those other than intellectual property).
