Trademark Registration in Canada
Canadian trade mark application with CIPO — CAD 491.06 online for the first class of goods and services and CAD 149.04 for each additional Nice class (CAD 640.10 if the first class is filed by non-online means). Unlike patents there is NO small-entity discount: the same per-class fee applies to an individual, a startup and a multinational. Registration runs for a 10-year renewable term; renewal is CAD 595.06 online for the first class and CAD 185.49 per additional class. CIPO corresponds only with the applicant or its appointed Canadian-resident trade mark agent, so a foreign applicant without a Canadian address must appoint a Canadian agent — a real cost driver worth planning for. The quoted fees apply to payments received before 1 January 2027, when certain CIPO trade mark fees rise by 1.7%.

These are the authority’s published lines. Which of them apply depends on your filing — a schedule by headcount, capital or entity type is one line, not all of them — and the applicable line is confirmed before payment, at cost.
