2023 Trend Chart Updates

Having closed the books on 2023, we can update some trend charts with the 2023 data.

The following trend charts have been updated to reflect CIPO’s 2023 data.  Each chart can be accessed either by clicking its named tab or by clicking the chart name hyperlinks in this table:

Chart NameDescription
10 Year Filing TrendGraphically displays the number of application filings per year for the past decade (2014-2023).
1st Office Action TrendGraphically displays, for applications filed over the past decade, the number of applications which have been examined and the average number of days taken to issue a 1st examination report on those applications.
Madrid Filing TrendGraphically displays the number of Madrid Protocol applications filed in Canada per week in 2023.  Bear in mind that the filing date of an inbound Madrid Protocol application is deemed to be the international registration date of the corresponding Madrid registration; and that it can take weeks or months for a Madrid application to arrive at CIPO.  Accordingly, a count of annual filings including Madrid filings may change depending on when the count is done.
Weekly Filing TrendDisplays the number of application filings per week in 2023; with a statistics summary for agents appointed in one or more applications filed in 2023.
25 Year Active/Inactive TrendA stacked bar chart showing the number of application filings per year for each of the past 25 years (1999-2023) with an indication of the number of marks filed in each year that were either active or inactive as of 31-Dec-2023.
