Trademark Registration Canada Process
FAQ - Trademark Registration Canada
What can I register as a trademark?
A trademark is a source identifier of your goods and/or services in the marketplace. Most often, trademark applications are filed for:
-
- Primary brand names (e.g. APPLE, STARBUCKS)
- Logos and designs (e.g. Apple with bite removed)
- Slogans (e.g. “THINK DIFFERENT” APPLE)
- Specific product or service brand names (e.g. IPHONE, FRAPPUCCINO)
Should I register my brand name and logo together or separately?
Generally it is advised to file two trademark applications: one for your brand name and one for your logo design. In this way both elements are independently protected.
Can Sander Law help me register my trademarks in other countries like the US?
Yes! Sander Law has a network of trusted international trademark professionals that we work with to file your applications in various countries and regions around the world including for example the US, UK, Europe, Brazil, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
I’ve already registered my business name with the provincial government, do I need trademark registration?
Yes! Only through the Canadian Trademark Registration process can you obtain registered trademark rights which give you the exclusive right to use the mark across Canada.
Registering your business name in Ontario does not give you exclusive rights to the name and does not give trademark rights. Particularly, it is possible for someone else to register the identical name under The Business Names Act.
I’ve already registered my named corporation, do I need trademark registration?
Yes! Only through the Canadian Trademark Registration process can you obtain registered trademark rights which give you the exclusive right to use the mark across Canada.
Registering a named federal corporation does not give you registered trademark rights and does not prevent someone from obtaining a corporation registration for a name that is similar to your name, for example by adding or deleting words, numbers or letters to make their name slightly different to yours.
As well, a registered Ontario corporation does not prevent another company from registering the same corporation name in another province.
