Canada has recently undergone a trademark reform so the registration process has now changed.
Important highlights about the Canadian trademark registration process:
-
Trademark is examined on absolute and relative grounds (meaning it can be refused if there is a similar mark or if the mark is descriptive).
-
Trademarks will now be subject to a distinctiveness examination like in many other countries.
-
Trademark examination is very similar to the Australian system.
-
No specimens of use are required. Use before registration is no longer required before registration.
-
Government fees are now charged per class like in most other countries.
-
You can now register a trademark for marijuana since Canada has legalized cannabis for recreational use.
-
Trademark registration process takes about 24 months, so you need to be patient when filing in Canada.
-
Trademarks must be renewed every 10 years now.
Trademark Angel works with a few trusted trademark agents. Anita is also a registered trademark agent, as well as the CEO of the company. We can handle all aspects of Canadian trademark registration – from filing to opposition.
