As a leader in Canadian intellectual property law, we have the expertise to deal thoroughly and quickly with all issues pertaining to trademark and trade name clearance and we offer a comprehensive range of searches to our clients, including the following types of clearance searches:
Full Registrability Search
A search of the Canadian Register of Trade-marks, corporate/company names, trading styles, and common law sources including telephone and trade directories, domain name registers ,and Internet searches.
Register Search
A search of the Canadian Trade-marks Register which covers Canadian registered trademarks and pending applications. Marks which are in use in Canada but are not the subject of trademark applications/registrations will not be revealed in the search. A further search of company names, trading styles, telephone and trade directories is recommended in order to better assess the availability of the mark.
Preliminary Search
The objective of this type of search is to determine relatively quickly and inexpensively if the exact mark is on the Canadian Trade-marks Register database. The failure to locate a conflicting mark does not necessarily mean that the mark is available for registration or use. More exhaustive searches are required to clear the mark for registration and use. |
