What is a trade-mark?
A trade-mark is a word (or words), a design, or a combination of these, used to identify the goods or services of one person or organization.
Your identity in the marketplace
Original, distinct, unique. It's all about standing out.
Your trade-mark helps your customers distinguish your products and services from others in the marketplace.
Protect your trade-mark
A trade-mark registration provides prima facie evidence of ownership. In a dispute, the registered owner does not have to prove ownership; the onus is on the challenger.
15 years of exclusive rights
Your trade-mark registration also gives you the exclusive right to use the mark across Canada for 15 years. Your registration is renewable every 15 years after that. Register your trade-mark now!
