Trademark Services

Our Trademark Agents have over 20 years of experience in obtaining trademark registrations worldwide.

Our trademark group is a strong team of knowledgeable and experienced agents who will work closely with you to carefully manage your trade-mark portfolios in Canada, the USA, and around the world.  Our goal is to ensure that your trade-mark application is filed properly and on a timely basis to prevent any potential issues during the course of the application process.  With over 20 years of experience, there is a pride in the work we prepare for you because we understand the importance of brand recognition and awareness.

Our agents are recognized to practice before the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and the United States Patent and Trade-mark Office.  In addition, they are often asked to present on a variety of topics to heighten the awareness of Intellectual Property and Trade-mark procedures to the business community.

What We Do

  • Conduct an in-depth trade-mark availability search to determine whether your trade-mark is available for use prior to filing your applications
  • Review your product, service, packaging and promotional materials to ensure that the trade-mark is being displayed and used properly
  • Draft your trade-mark application to ensure that it is correctly filed and monitored
  • Police and enforce your trade-mark rights and manage your trade-mark portfolio
  • Diarize deadlines to ensure the timely filing of documents.  A missed deadline could result in the inadvertent abandonment of the applications or expungement of your registration
  • Negotiate opposition, cancellation proceedings or settlement

What You Can Expect From Us

The first meeting is about discovery.  Your chance to meet us and our chance to discover more about your business and the needs for the trade-mark  Secondly, we search to determine if your proposed trade-mark is available and registrable.  Thirdly, the application and registration of your trade-mark.  We understand the different guidelines and forms used in a number of jurisdiction internationally.  If you plan to work around the globe we can help to ensure the integrity of your trade-mark elsewhere.  For instance, the Canadian registration of a trade-mark is 15 years and then is subject to renewal.  Finally, we will help you to monitor your registered trade-mark and notify you of any potentially confusing trade-marks applied for.  If needed, we can commence opposition proceedings against the mark to prevent registration.
