Our Advice to Canada Trademark Applicants
- Be as accurate as possible in the description. The Canadian Trademark Office generally does not accept vague descriptions and will issue an Office Action requesting a more detailed description (i.e. service is most likely not accepted, you must list all products on which you use your trademark on plates, cups, bowls, etc.....)
- Be sure to use your trademarkIn factas it was registered. If you've changed a single detail of your logo, it's best to resubmit it. Usage is critical as only trademarks in use can maintain their protected status in Canada and the modified logo and the original logo are not considered the same.
Canadian trademark law does not allow the registration of a trademark in the name of two persons. However, this can be corrected by stating the name of the company they are doing business with, for example "Name 1 and Name 2 trading as [X]".
Our professional Canadian trademark attorney will prepare and file your trademark for registration in the country.
