Can the fee reduction be claimed even if the application is transferred from a natural person to a small entity or an entity other than small entity, or when an application is transferred from a small entity to an entity other than small entity respectively?

No, the fee shall be paid in accordance with the revised entity status.

Also, when application is transferred from a natural person to a small entity or an entity other than small entity, difference in official fee between that of an natural person and small entity/ other than small entity must be paid for all the official fee paid at the Indian Design Office till the date of transfer of application.

Similarly, when application is transferred from a small entity to an entity other than small entity, difference in official fee between that of the small entity and other than small entity must be paid for all the official fee paid at the Indian Design Office till the date of transfer of application.
