Protecting your brand is essential to building long-term value in your business. We guide individuals and businesses through every stage of the Canadian trademark process, from clearance searches and application filings to responding to examiner objections and enforcing trademark rights.

Trademark protection extends to business names, product names, service names, slogans, logos, designs, sounds, colours, etc., that distinguish one business from another. Trademark protection extends to both house marks and product marks for brands for use with goods and services.

In a world where business is often dependent on the internet, your brand is one of your most valuable business assets. In Canada, protecting your trademark(s) requires strategy and expertise. We provide end-to-end trademark services to help you secure and enforce exclusive rights to your business name, logo, or slogan.

Registering a trademark in Canada involves conducting a clearance search, filing an application with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), responding to examiner objections, and completing the opposition and registration process. While the steps in the Canadian trademark registration process may appear straightforward, errors in classification, wording, or timing can delay or jeopardize registration. Our firm assists clients through each stage to ensure their trademarks are properly registered and enforceable across Canada.
