Trademark registration in Canada consists of six steps:
Step 1:Review name reports, choose a code, and submit your application.
Step 2: Undergo initial examination and formalization by CIPO.
Step 3: CIPO makes an initial decision to approve or reject the application.
Step 4: Publication in the Journal, followed by an 18-month waiting period for any objections.
Step 5: If no objections arise, the application receives final approval.
Step 6: Register with the government.

Most people opt for a detailed report to save time and money. A search report indicates the likelihood of trademark approval or rejection. The detailed report provides a comprehensive list of exact and similar names across all provinces in Canada, whereas a short report does not offer this level of detail. Additionally, if the application is declined, there is a risk of losing the entire fee, as the government does not issue refunds.

A word mark is registered using standard keyboard characters, providing protection for a name, slogan, or phrase regardless of the style or font used. In contrast, a design mark is registered as an image (typically a logo) that may include slogans, words, foreign phrases, symbols, shapes, and various styles, sizes, fonts, and colors.

In general, a word mark offers a broader level of protection, while a design mark provides a more distinctive level of protection. The choice depends on the products and services associated with the trademark. For brand development, we recommend registering both a word mark and a design mark. However, if you choose to pursue only one, we typically suggest starting with a word mark. Once the word mark is approved, adding a design mark (logo) can enhance its distinctiveness and protect against potential objections.
