on 19 August 2016 the Ecuadorian Patents Office (IEPI in Spanish)
decreased its fees by 90%, is unclear if fees to be paid for

also about other patent prosecution fees on which there is no
certainty.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
