Search in the Canadian Trademarks Database for any registered or pending trademark applications that may be confusingly similar to your mark.
The Canadian trademark registration process takes about 18-24 months. A trademark search can help to minimize potential objections that cost time and money to respond.
Checking for earlier use of unregistered or registered trademarks that are similar to yours can help to avoid potential oppositions.
A professionally trained service provider will not only analyze the search results from the Canadian Trademarks Database but also consider other factors that may impact the success rate of your application. This includes but not limited to the distinctiveness of your mark and whether your mark is clearly descriptive/deceptively misdiscreptive when associated with your goods & services.
