How the process works
Identify your Canadian market
Share the name or logo, intended owner and the goods or services you plan to sell in Canada.
Consider search and representation
Search Canadian records for potentially conflicting marks. Ask whether a registered trademark agent is needed for your situation and who will handle the work.
Confirm the application path
Review the scope, fees and responsibilities before proceeding. CIPO examination, publication and any objections or opposition affect the eventual outcome.
Questions before you get started
Trademark rights are territorial. A U.S. registration does not automatically provide Canadian registration; consider a separate Canadian application or an appropriate international filing route.
The total depends on the applicable CIPO fees, the number of classes and any search, agent or other professional services. Check the official CIPO fee schedule and request a quote that identifies the currency and separates government and service costs.
Potentially, if it meets each jurisdiction’s requirements and does not conflict with earlier rights. Each country needs its own assessment; acceptance in one does not guarantee acceptance in the other.
No. CIPO makes the registration decision. Available assistance and representation must be confirmed in writing before engagement.
Government fees, deadlines and processing times can change. For Canadian trademark information, review CIPO resources. For U.S. trademark information, review the USPTO trademark resources. LLC formation requirements and fees vary by state.
