Seize Your Opportunity to Acquire Exclusive Intellectual Property Rights
About 70% of the value of a typical business may lie in intangible assets, including intellectual property. We have worked with several hundred businesses to help them determine whether they can adopt a trademark and then obtain exclusive trademark rights in Canada, the United States and abroad.
Registration of a trademark provides significant benefits, including:
- exclusive trademark rights throughout Canada for a renewable 10-year registration term;
- the ability to claim priority from a Canadian application when filing corresponding trademark applications in many other countries within the applicable six-month period;
- the exclusive right to use the registered trademark throughout Canada in association with the registered goods and services, subject to the Trademarks Act;
- an enhanced ability to enforce trademark rights in Canada;
- lower enforcement costs;
- the ability to request assistance from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) in monitoring for counterfeit products at the Canadian border;
- public notice of your ownership by way of the Canadian trademark register;
- an enhanced ability to license trademark rights to others in Canada;
- the creation and strengthening of a valuable, transferable and licensable intangible asset;
- additional rights and advantages in certain domain-name disputes and, in some circumstances, eligibility to register a corresponding .CA domain; and
- potential access to certain trademark exceptions under Quebec's French-language requirements, subject to applicable conditions.
Altogether, the benefits of trademark registration reward trademark owners by increasing the value of their brand and business and by providing stronger enforcement rights, which better enable their businesses to grow.
