Frequently asked questions
Will I be able to communicate with my lawyer after the kickoff call?
Yes, absolutely. You can use the Goodlawyer platform to send messages and files. If substantially more communication is needed, your lawyer may request another call.
How long does it take to register a trademark?
The government’s best guess is that it will take around 18 - 24 months. This depends on a lot of factors and you might get lucky and have a fully registered trademark in one year. The good news is that the day that an application is filed is noted by the office and there is retroactive protection provided in case something related to the Trademark happens before it is officially registered.
What happens if my application is opposed?
Competitors can oppose an application if they believe they own the trademark rather than you. In this case, both parties will have to file additional paperwork. The Good Lawyer that helped you file your initial application will be able to help you again if your application is opposed, but this will have additional costs.
What happens if my Application is rejected?
Quite simply, there is nothing you can do other than modify your Application and try again. Generally, when an application is rejected, CIPO will provide some clarity as to why it was rejected and how it could be improved for a successful Application. Unfortunately, Goodlawyer makes no guarantees that your Application will be successful.
Why not do it myself?
It is possible to register your own trademark, although it is an extremely complex Application and can be a very time consuming process. The main reason people tend to hire lawyers to register trademarks is that lawyers have experience and can work faster and more effectively than someone who is new to intellectual property. They also know things to look for that might give your application a better or worse chance of getting rejected.
Do I need a lawyer in my province?
Generally, no, you don’t need a local lawyer to file a Trademark Registration. Trademarks are protected at the federal level and there are no significant differences between the provinces. Most of Canada’s intellectual property lawyers are based in Toronto, so you will most likely be matched with lawyers based in Toronto.
