Canadian Trademarks: What You Need to Know
A trademark is a word, phrase, logo, design, or combination of these that identifies your goods or services and distinguishes them from others in the marketplace. In Canada, trademarks can be registered with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) to obtain exclusive rights across the country.
Common examples include:
- Business names
- Product names
- Logos and slogans
- Unique packaging or stylized branding elements
A registered trademark gives you legal grounds to prevent others from using similar marks that could confuse your customers or damage your brand.
Why Register a Trademark?
While you can use a trademark without registering it, federal registration offers significant advantages:
- Exclusive rights: to use your mark across Canada
- Legal protection: against infringement or misuse
- Stronger enforcement tools: in the event of brand theft or imitation
- Increased business value: when attracting investors, buyers, or licensing partners
- Brand confidence: for your customers and clients
We help businesses determine whether trademark registration is appropriate and guide them through the entire application process, from start to finish.
