CIPO strongly recommends using the Fee Payment form for all fee payments submitted by mail,
facsimile, or hand delivery.
It is not mandatory to hire a trademark agent. Nonetheless, trademark registration can be a
complex process. An experienced agent can save you time by helping you prepare a complete
application as well as perform more comprehensive research and potentially assist you in opposition
and summary expungement proceedings. CIPO provides a list of registered agents, but cannot
recommend any particular one to you.
The time required to register a trademark can vary. Please note that the Office is currently
experiencing delays that are beyond the usual service standards. To see how an application
is processed (with references to average delays), please consult the IP Roadmap and How your
trademark application is processed.
For further information on trademark registration, we suggest you consult A Guide to Trademarks,
the IP Roadmap, How your trademark application is processed and the Goods and Services Manual.
Registering your trademark in Canada protects your rights in Canada only. If you plan to sell your
products or services in other countries, you should consider applying for foreign registration in each
country where you conduct business. For more information, please refer to the International
Trademarks under the Madrid Protocol or contact a trademark agent. You can also contact the IP
office of the country in question to find out about procedures. Links to foreign intellectual property
offices can be found on our website at: http://www.cipo.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/cipointernetinternetopic.

Trademarks

by | Sep 30, 2019 | Business Software, Digital Marketing Agency, NUANS Name Search, Quick Books ProAdvisor, Website Designer Moncton

We create websites utilizing the current top of the line website building tools, such as DIVI and WordPress.

A trademark can be a word, a design, a letter, a numeral, a colour, a figurative element, a three dimensional shape, a hologram, a moving image, a mode of packaging goods, a sound, a scent, a taste, a texture, a position, or a combination of these. Trademarks come to represent not only the actual goods or services but also the reputation, of the producer. As such, trademarks constitute valuable intellectual property.

Before filing a trademark application in Canada, it is strongly recommended to conduct a thorough search of existing marks. We recommend that you search the Canadian Trademarks Database.

Beware of words, designs, and ideas that are similar to another owner’s trademark. If your trademark is confusingly similar to a registered trademark or a pending trademark, it may be refused. Examiners take into account various factors when determining whether trademarks are confusing, including whether the trademarks:
– look or sound alike or suggest similar ideas; and
– are used in association with similar goods or services.

Once your search is completed and you are satisfied that your trademark is not confusing with any other trademarks, you may file your application.
You may file a trademark application:
Online: You must access the online form.
– If you have not previously submitted payments or correspondence to CIPO electronically, you must first create an account in order to access the secure server.
