Benefits of registering in Canada

Trademarks are a valuable business asset.

Each trademark has different advantages of being registered. Here are a few :

1. Exclusive rights and nationwide protection for 10 years (renewable)

National Protection

Protection and exclusivity throughout the country.

2. Proof of ownership, protects your rights in the event of a dispute

Reduces the burden of proof of ownership in the event of a dispute and facilitates legal recourse.

3. Business assets

Increases the market value of your business.

4. Discourages others from using your trademark or a similar trademark

The trademark is on the register when competitors do their research, so registration helps deter others from using your trademark.

5. Free monitoring

The Registrar of Trademarks will block applications to register identical or similar trademarks in the same field.

6. Impacts on international protection

Facilitates the filing of the trademark abroad and allows you to benefit from foreign priority filing (6 months).

7. Use of the ®/MD symbol

Possible to use the ® or MD symbol once the trademark is registered.

International Protection

Why register my trademark abroad?

Registering a trademark in Canada does not protect it abroad. A separate application must be filed in each of the countries of interest.

To protect your trademark when entering new markets or when your suppliers and distributors are overseas.

The majority of countries have a first-to-file system, i.e. even if you use your trademark in certain countries without having registered it, a third-party filing it could prevent you from using it in this market and force you to have to change your trademark.

Several countries have a border protection system to prevent counterfeiting. This system is useful for trademark owners, but can also be used by ill-intentioned people to stop your export or import in this territory. Registering your trademark reduces the risks associated with this type of situation.
