Tariff of Fees - Industrial Designs
Please note that electronic certified copies and electronic copies of a
document will be offered at a date still to be determined.
Since January 1, 2004, a fee is required for the following services:
Delaying registration
A request to delay the registration of an industrial design is processed
upon payment of the prescribed fee, shown as item 9 on this page. This will
apply in cases where an applicant requests to delay the registration of
an application which otherwise would normally proceed with registration.
This will not apply in situations relating to parent or divisional applications
or similar designs filed by the same applicant, provided that the applicant
has notified the Industrial Design Office of the existence of such co-pending
applications. In these situations, the usual practice of the Office is to
register such applications on the same day.
Reinstatement of an abandoned application
In accordance with subsection 5(4) of the Industrial Design Act, an abandoned
application is reinstated if, within the prescribed period, the applicant
submits a request for reinstatement along with a reply to the objections to
registration, and pays the prescribed fee, shown as item 10 on this page.
Issuance of a correcting certificate required as a result of an error
not committed by the Office
A certificate of correction is issued upon payment of the prescribed fee,
shown as item 11 on this page.
Processing a request for accelerated examination of an application
to register a design
The Industrial Design Office continues to process requests for accelerated
examination in cases of suspected infringement upon payment of the prescribed
fee, shown as item 12 on this page.
