Official Fees to Increase


As of January 1st, 2024, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) is increasing most of its fees by approximately 25%. The regulations detailing the adjustment of patent, trademark, copyright and industrial design fees were published in the Canadian Gazette, Part II on June 21, 2023.

CIPO does not receive annual funding for its operations from the Government of Canada, but instead is fully funded through the revenue it generates from fees paid by applicants. With these fee adjustments, CIPO wants to address its current structural deficit.

For trademark owners, it is worthwhile to file their trademark application or to renew their registration in 2023. For example, the fees for filing a trademark application will increase from $347.35 CA to $458.00 CA for the first class and from $105.26 CA to $139.00 CA per additional class. The fees for the renewal of a trademark registration will increase from $421.02 CA to $555.00 CA for the first class and from $131.58 CA to $173.00 CA per additional class.
