CPATA\u2019s Board of Directors approved a\u00a025% reduction to Class 1 and Class 2 patent agent and\/or trademark agent licence fees, bringing Class 1 single-licence fees down from $1,877 to $1,400 for 2027. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

This fee is even lower than the range proposed during this winter\u2019s Call for Comments\u00a0of $1,450-$1,550. It\u00a0has been\u00a0right-sized\u00a0based on 2026 financial\u00a0data,\u00a02026\u00a0licence renewal numbers and submissions received in response to the Call for Comments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Schedule 1\u00a0(below)\u00a0outlines the licence and other fee amounts for 2027\u00a0adopted by the Board of Directors at its June 4 meeting.\u00a0The new fees are expected to come into effect January 1, 2027, conditional on CPATA\u2019s By-Laws, which are drafted in conjunction with the Department of Justice, being amended in time for such changes to come into effect<\/strong>. In keeping with CPATA’s bylaw requirements, fees for 2028 will be adjusted by the Canadian September consumer price index (CPI).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As an independent regulator, CPATA\u2019s funding comes exclusively from fees, 90% of which are licence fees. The College sets licence fees at amounts sufficient to have the necessary resources to meet its extensive mandate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In early 2026,\u00a0CPATA modeled high-level projections for its expenses and revenues, to propose licence fee ranges for 2027-2028. The College\u00a0then\u00a0held a\u00a0Call for Comments on the Proposed Licence Fee Ranges for 2027-2028<\/a> from January 15 to February 27, 2026. CPATA is grateful for the submissions shared by 32 individual licensees and IPIC. Overall, the feedback received indicated that fees should be reduced and proposed various lower amounts. The memo to the Board<\/a> in the June 4th\u00a0meeting package includes\u00a0further details\u00a0of the feedback received and\u00a0the rationale for\u00a0maintaining\u00a0consistent fees across licence categories.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Since opening the Call for Comments,\u00a0CPATA closed its 2025 fiscal year and is well into the 2026 fiscal year. Finances are strong and operations are running smoothly, with no new expense fluctuations expected, and no matters\u00a0currently\u00a0requiring\u00a0a withdrawal from the financial reserves.\u00a0Licence renewal for 2026 closed on March 31,\u00a0showing a 2% decrease in the number of Class 1 trademark agents, an increase in Class 3 agents in training and stable numbers of patent agents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

CPATA\u2019s staff, Audit and Risk Committee and Board of Directors carefully considered all feedback provided, in conjunction with budget,\u00a0financial projections and licence renewal data\u00a0for 2026\u00a0prior to the Board\u2019s adoption of the 2027 fees as listed in Schedule 1.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
