Send my Examiner's ReportSee the three tiers

What you send us

  • The Examiner's Report (PDF or a photo of the letter)
  • Your application number
  • The email address CIPO has on file

What you get back within one business day

  • Your tier and a fixed-fee quote
  • A plain-English read on each objection
  • Our honest view of your odds
  • Your exact response deadline, confirmed

Why act now

The deadline is real. The panic is optional.

Most Examiner's Reports are fixable. The applications that fail usually fail because the response was late, incomplete, or argued the wrong point. That is the part we remove.

Missing the date means starting over

An abandoned application loses its filing date. Refiling means new government fees and a new place in the queue behind anyone who filed since.

Examiners respond to arguments, not frustration

A good response addresses each objection with the right amendment, case law or evidence. That is a craft, and it is what you are paying for.

You have already invested

You paid government fees and waited months for examination. A well-handled response protects that investment instead of writing it off.

You should not have to learn this

Our team has handled hundreds of Examiner's Reports. Send it over, keep running your business, and let us drive.

Tiers

Three tiers. We assign the right one, you approve it.

Your quote covers the professional work. There is no CIPO fee for a standard response. If your report is straightforward you are quoted the Simple tier, not a blended average.

Rescue Simple

Fixed-fee quote · government fees separate

Best for: One narrow objection, typically a goods and services wording issue or a straightforward formality.

  • File takeover and appointment as your agent of record
  • Review of the Examiner's Report and your application
  • Amendment or short written argument, drafted by our team
  • Filed with CIPO before your deadline, with confirmation to you

Subsequent Examiner’s Reports

If CIPO comes back a second time on a file we are already handling, we respond at a reduced fee because we already know the history.

Ask about a second report

Every offer is quoted as a fixed professional fee, confirmed in writing before any work begins. Government (CIPO) fees and disbursements are always separate and passed through at cost.

Process

From forwarded email to filed response

You will hear from a person, not a portal. Every step is confirmed by email so you always know where the file stands.

  1. 1

    Send the report

    Forward the Examiner's Report PDF (or the CIPO letter) and your application number. That is all we need to start.

  2. 2

    Get a tier and plan

    Within one business day our team tells you which tier applies, what the objections really mean and what we recommend.

  3. 3

    Approve by email

    One reply. We appoint ourselves as your agent of record and take over correspondence with CIPO.

  4. 4

    We file the response

    Drafted, reviewed and filed before your deadline, with confirmation and a plain-English note on what happens next.

Included with every Rescue

More than a response letter

A Rescue is a takeover. We become your agent of record, own the deadlines, and stay with the file through examination.

  • Appointment as agent of record so CIPO correspondence comes to us
  • Deadline docketing for every future step on the application
  • Plain-English status updates as CIPO responds
  • Guide: what to expect after your response is filed
  • Discounted Watch Basic for the first 90 days, so you see confusing filings early
  • A clear recommendation on next steps if the examiner maintains an objection

FAQ

Questions people ask before they send the report

What exactly is an Examiner's Report?
It is CIPO's formal letter listing why your application cannot be approved as filed. Common objections include confusion with an earlier mark, a name that is considered descriptive, or goods and services that are not described in acceptable terms. It is not a rejection. It is an invitation to fix or argue, and it comes with a deadline.
How long do I have to respond?
The report states your deadline, typically six months from the report date. If you miss it your application is treated as abandoned, though a short window may exist to reinstate. Send us the report as soon as you can and we will confirm the exact date on the file.
Which tier will I need?
You do not have to guess. Send the report and we assign the tier. Simple covers a single narrow objection such as goods and services wording. Standard is the typical first report with a confusion or descriptiveness objection that needs a real argument. Complex covers multi-issue reports, evidence-based arguments, or a prior response that did not work.
Is there a CIPO fee to respond?
Not for a standard response. If you need an extension of time, CIPO charges a fee for that, which we pass through at cost. Our tier quote covers the professional work.
What if CIPO issues another report after our response?
Sometimes an examiner maintains an objection or raises a new one. Subsequent reports on a file we are already handling are quoted at a reduced fee, since we already know the file.
Can you guarantee the application will be approved?
No one honestly can. What we can promise is a properly prepared response, filed on time, reviewed by our team, and a candid assessment up front if we think the odds are poor. If we do not believe a response is worth your money, we will tell you before you pay.
I already missed the deadline. Is it over?
Not necessarily. Depending on how recently the deadline passed, there may be a path to reinstate, or a refile strategy that keeps your priority position as strong as possible. Contact us with the dates and we will lay out the options.

Forward the report today. Have a plan tomorrow.

No commitment until you approve the tier. If we do not think a response is worth your money, we will say so before you pay a cent.
