Fee Payment Methods Changed


The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) implemented three changes concerning the process when accepting and/or treating fee payments.

1) Foreign Currency
CIPO will no longer accept foreign currencies as payment for any fees. This includes electronic funds transfers (EFT). As of December 1st, 2010, all fee payments must be made to CIPO in Canadian dollars.

2) Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT)
A contract was signed with the Bank of Nova Scotia for the management of all electronic funds transfers made for the Government of Canada. All electronic fee payments to CIPO should now be made through the above noted bank.

3) Credit Card Statements
Beginning December 1st, 2010, CIPO will no longer return credit card slips. However, CIPO will provide monthly credit card transactions summary report.
