Proposed fee changes as part of regulatory amendment packages for implementation of the treaties were published for trademarks in Canada Gazette I, Part I in 2016-17, and are expected to be published for patents in Canada Gazette I, Part I in fall 2018.

Non-Complex: 14 calendar days

Non-complex: 96%

The Bureau increased the filing fee for merger reviews from $50,000.00 to $72,000.00, effective May 1st 2018. 
The Bureau revised its merger filing fee, and to be able to continue to effectively and efficiently review mergers and manage its merger program. Prior to this recent increase, the Bureau’s merger filing fee had not been increased since 2003, making the Bureau’s efforts to deliver merger reviews within the limits of the previous funding unsustainable.
Pursuant to the Service Fees Act (SFA), the Department of Industry Act (DIA) and relevant Treasury Board guidelines on costing, the Bureau developed a fee proposal that included a costing analysis, a consideration of the private and public benefit of the proposed fee, an international comparison of fees of other agencies, and consultations with stakeholders.
In addition to a preliminary consultation with senior members of the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) in September 2017, the Bureau held in-person sessions with stakeholders in Toronto and Montreal. The proposal was also published on the Bureau’s website for public consultation from October 20, 2017 to November 20, 2017. The Bureau reviewed stakeholders’ comments and concerns and revised the proposal as necessary. In April 2018, the Minister of ISED approved the Bureau’s fee proposal. Pursuant to the DIA and SFA, the revised fee was published in the Canada Gazette on April 28, 2018.
