CIPO has announced an increase in their fees as of January 1,
2024. Their current fees will be increased by at least 25%. This
increase will apply not only to trademarks, but also to patents,
industrial designs and copyrights.
For example, the anticipated official fee to file an application
for registration of a trademark is being increased from $347.35 to
$458.00 for the first class, and from $105.26 to $139.00 for each
additional class.
A majority of CIPO's other fees are subject to a similar
adjustment. As such, this increase will have an impact not only
upon filing an application for registration, but also during the
registration process and upon renewal.
We therefore recommend that you review your intellectual
property portfolio to determine if new applications should be filed
or renewals effected before the end of the year.
