In addition to the savings that a company may achieve by using Madrid—and we do know that small and medium-size industries do use Madrid in other jurisdictions—there's also some streamlining and harmonizing being done in the Canadian trademark office. Even if a company is not using Madrid, but simply wants to file only in Canada, we have streamlined and harmonized the process with other jurisdictions.
The Singapore law treaty is really about creating minimum requirements in Canadian trademark offices so that businesses don't have excessive red-tape burdens to comply with. For example, if you were filing in Canada and you had foreign registration, you'd have to file a certified copy, and there would be a government charge around that. As well, if you were represented by a lawyer, the lawyer would charge for filing that.
Another example we've already talked about is the declaration of use, a form that has to be prepared by businesses. There is a compliance cost to that and there are government fees for it. You might also file for extensions of time, for which there are government fees. In addition, you might pay a lawyer to prepare the declaration of use and prepare extensions of time to file that declaration of use. Those are some of the costs we're talking about taking out of the system.
