CIPO has confirmed that most deadlines for patents, trademarks and industrial designs falling between March 16 – July 5, 2020 will now be extended to July 6, 2020.

This is a follow-up to CIPO’s previous announcements that deadlines falling between March 16 – June 14, 2020 would be extended to June 15, 2020.

We expect that this deadline could be further extended, and we will provide additional updates as the situation evolves. Hicks IP will continue to work toward meeting original deadlines upon timely receipt of instructions.

Please contact any of our team members if you have questions.
