Canada Logo Application process
a) Canada Logo Application
In Canada, a trademark is
registered by filing an application with the Canada Logo s Office. It is
possible to file an application for registration of a trade-mark that is not
yet in use somewhere in Canada.
b) Initial Canada Logo Examination
Within the following four
months, the trademark registrar examiners then carry out a search of trade-mark
records for potentially conflicting marks. Should there be no apparent
conflict, the examiners then make an initial determination as to the
registrability of the trade-mark, assessing such characteristics as whether the
trade-mark is "clearly descriptive" or "deceptively
mis-descriptive". They will also decide whether the description of the
wares or services complies with the regulations and is in normal commercial
terms. The examiners advise the applicant of any adverse findings. Applicants
may be required to submit revised applications. Once past the conflict search
stage and initial determination of registrability and any revisions to the
application the trade-marks Office will submit for Advertisement.
c) Canada Logo Advertisement. The Canada Logo information is published in the trademarks
Journal. Any interested party may then make representations to the Canada Logo s
Office, such as filing an opposition against registration of the trade-mark
owing to alleged confusion with an existing mark. Should this happen,
opposition proceedings can, if successful, bring the application process to an
end or otherwise delay the registration process for eighteen (18) months or
longer
d) Acceptance of Canada Logo . If the Canada Logo s Office receives no objection
within approximately two (2) months of publication in the trademarks Journal,
the Canada Logo s Office issues a notice of acceptance of the application for
registration.
Term of Canada Logo Protection.
In Canada, the term of Canada
Logo protection is valid for fifteen years. A Canada Logo Registration is renewable every fifteen (15) years
upon payment of a renewal fee.
