Building a strong brand requires more than creative design – it demands legal protection that prevents competitors from using confusingly similar marks. Our experienced trademark professionals combine deep knowledge of Canadian and US trademark law with strategic business insight to protect your brand investments effectively.

Canadian Trademark Registration

Our registered trademark agents handle all aspects of Canadian trademark applications with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), from comprehensive searches to final registration and ongoing maintenance.

Understanding Trademark Law

Trademarks protect words, phrases, symbols, designs, or combinations that identify and distinguish your goods or services from competitors. Unlike patents that protect inventions, trademarks preserve brand identity and can last indefinitely with proper maintenance.
