Trademark Renewal Cost Calculator — Canada

As of 2024, CIPO charges approximately $595.06 for the first Nice class and $172.52 for each additional class to renew a trademark for another 10 years. A late renewal during the grace period adds about $217. Agent fees, if used, are extra.

Canadian trademark registrations must be renewed every 10 years. Since the 2019 amendments the term is 10 years (down from 15). CIPO sends a courtesy reminder, but the owner is responsible for renewing on time. Renewal keeps the registration in force indefinitely.

No. Unlike the US, Canada does not require a declaration or evidence of use to renew a trademark. You simply pay the renewal fee per class. However, a registration can still be challenged and expunged for non-use under section 45 if the mark has not been used for three years.

There is a 6-month grace period after the expiry date during which you can still renew by paying the renewal fee plus a late fee. If you fail to renew within the grace period, the registration is expunged and you lose your registered rights, though you may re-apply as a new application.
