Consider early renewal of your Canadian trademark registrations
now. The current government fee to renew
registrations is $350. Registrations, including those that are
unclassified, can be renewed now regardless of the
renewal date.
After June 17, the government fee to renew a registration will
increase to $400 for the first class and an additional fee of $125
will be charged for each class thereafter. At the same time, it
will become mandatory for all goods and services listed in a
registration be classified according to the Nice International
Classification System at the time of renewal.
To benefit from early renewal, contact your Gowling WLG
professional well in advance of the Canadian Trademark Office
closure on June 13, 2019.
