Choose full legal support for Canadian and United States trademark registrations, including a pre-filing search and registrability opinion and dealing with the Trademarks Office on your behalf, or if you’re confident in your mark and in handling the process yourself, you can skip the legal support all together with our DIY registration.

Use our intuitive software to complete the trademark, applicant and product and services fields for your application. Our software ensures your products and services are accurately described and classified in accordance with trademark regulations.

Submit and pay for your application and receive your filing number and details within 24-hours. You can also create an account to access your filing anytime begin managing your trademark portfolio.

Your application will be examined for compliance with trademark laws. You are not required to do anything at this stage unless there are objections. If you’ve asked for legal support, we’ll take care of any objections for you. If you passed on legal support, you’re responsible for responding to objections. Once the application passes examination, it’s approved and advertised for public opposition.

You could be waiting up to 3 years for your Canadian application and up to 12 months for your US mark to be advertised. During this time, you should be using the “TM” symbol next to your mark in all marketing and keeping your eyes open for any unauthorized uses of the trademark.

Your registration will issue after the application passes through the opposition period, and you’re now free to start using the ® symbol. You can also celebrate having the most powerful legal tool available to protect your brand, but you should enroll your mark in a monitoring program to ensure copycats don’t steal it right out from under you!
