Filing of the trademark application

Formalities

After the Canadian Intellectual Property Office determines that application have met the minimum filing requirements, a filing date and an application number will be assigned to the trademark application, and a file will be open.

Examination

The examiner will analyze if the trademark application can be approved for advertising or not. In case of any doubt from the examiner, an objection will be notified to the applicant, who will have the opportunity to respond, and through this answer, satisfy the examiner and continue with the application process. If the answer does not fulfill the examiner requirements, the application will be refused.

Publication

If trademark application is approved, it will be published in the Trade-Marks Journal. Within two months of being advertised, third parties could file oppositions based on the belief that the published application might be detrimental to their rights.

Oppositions

If oppositions are filed, the applicant will be notified of this, and will have a one month term in order to file an answer to it.

Allowance

On the other hand, if there is no opposition, or if an opposition has been decided in applicant’s favor, the application will be allowed and the Office of the Registrar will not consider any further challenges. Applicant will receive a Notice of Allowance and asked to pay the $200 registration fee.

Registration

Once the $200 registration fee is paid, the applied mark will be declared registered.

Duration of the registration

The protection of a registered trademark will last for fifteen years.
