<p>The present invention relates to computer systems for estimating foreign filing costs, in particular, to a computer-implemented system for generating country-specific fees. The computer system is designed to receive an industrial property (IP) identifier, such as a patent number, generate IP statistics corresponding to the IP identifier, such as the number of words and pages in a patent specification, generate a set of selected countries and, for every selected country; identify a selected fee rule corresponding to that country and apply the selected fee rule to the IP statistics to calculate a country-specific fee. The computer system preferably performs these steps in response to a single user action.</p> |
