SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN GOVERNMENT PATENT, TRADEMARK AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN FEES


-CANADA-

 

The Canadian Intellectual Property Office adjusts government patent, trademark and industrial design fees on an annual basis with a view to reflect inflationary costs.  The Office has however announced that various government fees will increase significantly by as much as 25% or more as of January 1, 2024.  Applicants may wish to consider remitting necessary fees prior to the 2023 calendar year end to avoid fee increases.
