5. Article 41.2 addresses, among other things, the cost of judicial proceedings. Please describe any fees charged by judicial 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.

The fee for filing a suit is one per cent of the stated value of the dispute in civil matters and two per cent in commercial matters, but not more than SIT 540 (currently approximately US$4 000). The fee of the same amount applies for filing an appeal against the final judgement. The fee for the application for provisional measures is up to SIT 15 300 (approximately US$120). No fee is charged for criminal complaints (see Law on Judicial Fees, which unfortunately was amended so often that it is almost impossible to provide a reasonably voluminous copy of it).
