Trademark Registration in Canada: What You Need to Know

All Canadian trademarks are filed through CIPO. Filing fees start at CA$458 for the first class, with CA$139 for additional classes.

Registration is valid for 10 years, renewable every 10 years thereafter for CA$555 for the first class and CA$173 for each additional class.

CIPO Trademark Application Process
  • Examination: CIPO reviews your application for registrability.
  • Examiner's Report: Any issues are communicated in a report.
  • Response Time: You have 6 months to address concerns.
  • Approval or Refusal: If approved, CIPO sends a notice. If refused, you can appeal.
  • Advertisement: Approved applications are published for opposition for 2 months.
  • Registration: If unopposed, your trademark is registered, and you receive a certificate.

European Union Trademark

If you’re planning to expand your business across multiple EU Member States, applying for an EU Trademark (EUTM) could be your best option. With just one application, you’ll gain protection throughout the entire EU, all at a reasonable cost.

Before filing, you should make sure your brand name is available to trademark in the EU. TradeMark Express offers comprehensive trademark search services for the EU.

But since we like to go above and beyond for our clients, we also search the rest of Europe because we believe in providing thorough protection for your brand across the entire continent, ensuring your success in Europe is not limited to just EU Member States and securing your brand in all potential markets where you might expand.

NOTES :

  1. (EUTM) Information on over 2 million trademark applications and registrations filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
  2. (WIPO) Information on over 1.3 million Madrid Agreement and Madrid Protocol trademarks registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization

* Any follow-up regarding EUIPO trademark applications should be addressed by a trademark attorney, as this falls outside the scope of TradeMark Express’s services.

WIPO Trademarks

What is the World Intellectual Property Organization - WIPO?

WIPO, or the World Intellectual Property Organization, manages the Madrid Protocol. This protocol offers trademark holders a streamlined method to secure protection in over 120 member countries and regional IP offices. With just one application, one language, and one set of fees, it simplifies the process significantly.


For US businesses, this means a straightforward pathway to protect their trademarks across multiple countries. Instead of filing separate applications in each jurisdiction, they can submit a single international application through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Aren't the WIPO & European Union Trademark searches enough? Why search the individual countries?

To ensure the most comprehensive trademark research, it’s recommended that you search all of the individual countries of operation, as well as the WIPO & EUIPO databases. By doing so, you can identify and mitigate any risks of trademark infringement specific to each country, safeguarding your brand from unforeseen legal challenges and ensuring smooth operation across all your markets.

Worldwide

International Trademark

Are you ready to go worldwide? Looking to trademark in Europe only? Need to launch in Oceania or Asia?

There are a few options you can consider:

EU-Wide

For broader coverage across multiple EU countries, opt for an EU trademark through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). This single application grants protection across the entire EU, streamlining the process and offering comprehensive coverage for your brand.

National Level

If you need to safeguard your brand in just one or a few EU member states, consider applying directly at the national Intellectual Property (IP) office of those countries. This approach is ideal for businesses operating in or targeting specific markets within the EU.

WIPO

For global reach, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) offers an international gateway. This route allows you to protect your trademark in the EU and numerous countries worldwide. However, you must first obtain national or regional protection.

Before filing, ensure your brand name is available in the countries of interest. An international trademark search can be complex, so contact us directly if you are interested in countries outside the USA, Canada, or the EU. We can discuss and tailor a package specific to your international needs.
