  • Frequently Asked Questions on Trademark Registration in Canada

    1. How long does it take to register a trademark in Canada?

    As long as no objections arise and the trademark is not confusingly similar or identical to a competitor’s registered trademark, the registration process in Canada usually takes approximately 12 to 18 months.

     

    2. Should I register my trademark in Canada or through WIPO?

    It depends on the countries where you plan to use your trademark. If you want protection in Canada, you can register your trademark with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO). Another option is to file an international trademark application through WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), which allows you to apply for trademark registration in multiple countries through a single procedure.

     

    If you want to protect your trademark in several countries, using an international trademark application is recommended. You can consult us for more detailed guidance.

     

    3. Can I use my trademark before it is officially registered?

    Yes, you may use your trademark at any stage, even before submitting an application. However, such use does not guarantee registration, and it may infringe on someone else’s trademark, potentially causing unnecessary costs or legal issues. We recommend conducting a comprehensive legal search before using the trademark to assess risks.


  • Important Notes on the Trademark Registration Process in Canada

    1. Submission of Application: The applicant submits the trademark application to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO).

     

    2. Formal Examination: Within 7 days, a Notice of Acceptance is issued, and a trademark application number is assigned.

     

    3. Substantive Examination: Within approximately 6 months, the application undergoes substantive examination. If issues are found, an Examination Report is issued; if no issues are found, a Notice of Approval is issued.

     

    4. Trademark Publication: Five weeks after the Notice of Approval is issued, the trademark is published in the Trademarks Journal for a 2-month period.

     

    5. Opposition Period: If there is an opposition, the trademark enters the opposition procedure.

     

    6. Registration Approval: If no opposition is filed, or any opposition is resolved, a Notice of Registration Approval is issued three months after the publication period ends. The applicant is required to pay the registration fee. For an “intention-to-use” application, registration is granted upon approval.
