On June 9, 2020, in what is becoming a regular occurrence, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has once again (and for the seventh time) extended most deadlines in the period beginning March 16 and ending July 3, 2020, to the next day that is open for business or until July 6, 2020.

There appears to be no end to these extensions, and there remains a strong likelihood that CIPO will further extend deadlines in two weeks.
We will continue to monitor the situation and advise you accordingly.
