Trademarks for Canadians

Registering a Trademark in Canada

 

Clear communications.  Reasonable fees.  First-class Service.

From application to registration, through office actions and oppositions, our trademark agents are experts at securing Canadian trademarks, always striving to maximize your rights and minimize costs and delay. We provide first-class full service trademark protection for non-Canadian brand owners, with portfolios of all sizes. 

Don’t forget to register your trademarks in Canada now, whether you are using them now in Canada or intend to use them in Canada later. Canada is approximately the ninth largest economy in the world, and one of the most multicultural countries in the world. If you sell it at home, chances are the brand already has awareness in Canada. In the past, many trademark owners have forgotten to register in Canada, and have deeply regretted it later (see our case studies). You can avoid this pain: Canada does not have class-based fees, and thus government fees for Canadian trademark registrations are not high. 

Do not delay filing: Canadian trademarks law has several “first to file” rules. We advise on the unusual features of Canadian trademark practice relevant to non-Canadian practitioners.

Although Canada has not ascended to the Madrid Protocol, we offer a “Madrid-equivalent” service.
