11. Fee Estimates for Canadian Integrated Circuit Topographies
In all cases, we work on a time spent basis, and tasks are normally divided between the professionals in our office in order to complete work in a cost effective manner. The following estimates for integrated circuit topography related services are based upon routine cases of average complexity which entail an average expenditure of time on the part of the professional(s) involved. These estimates are subject to change depending upon the complexity and time frames for particular tasks. Further, the estimates are based upon performing the services as routine cases and not on an expedited basis. Premiums may be applied if expedited service is requested. Thus, the estimates which follow should only be seen as a guide to the charges which you will ultimately incur. All of the cost estimates given below, except where specifically noted, are exclusive of disbursements and G.S.T. If more detailed cost estimates are required for particular tasks, please do not hesitate to ask.
As to the time frames normally required to complete the services, these vary from time to time depending upon our current workloads, and should be discussed with the professional handling your affairs at the time of your initial interview
