Register your Trademark

Information, Mobile, Slider, Trademarks · February 1, 2014

 

A Canada trademark registration provides you with very significant advantages compared to an unregistered mark. Getting a registration is worth considering before significant investments are made in advertising, signs, websites, labels or shipments of product. A trademark registration will also provide you with additional grounds to stop an infringer and is often the key in winning a legal battle.
 
Once registered, a trademark registration is valid for fifteen (15) years from the date of registration. A trademark registration is then also renewable every fifteen (15) years afterwards, upon timely payment of a renewal fee.

 

Trademark Registrations
Sampling of Canadian Trademark Registrations

 

A Canadian trademark registration provides the following advantages:

  • Registration provides an exclusive right to the owner to use the trademark throughout Canada in respect of the goods and/or services for which registration issues. Registration reserves your right of such “exclusive use” all across Canada, including in places or provinces where the trade-mark has not been used.
  •  

  • A registered mark prevents the subsequent registration of similar marks by others, once your trade-mark is on public record. You may also get notice from the Trade-mark Office of similar trade-marks being applied for after your mark has registered.
  •  

  • The Registration Certificate is your proof of ownership of the mark and of the distinctiveness in your trade-mark.
  •  

  • In a law suit there will no longer be a need to establish good-will or reputation in a particular geographical region, as would be the case in a passing-off-action based on an unregistered trade-mark.
