Not only will a trade mark give you exclusive rights to your branding and prevent others from using it, it can also help you stand out from your competitors, <a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/overseas-application\/register-trade-mark-overseas\/\">including internationally<\/a>.\u00a0As the 10th largest economy globally and a long-standing trading partner with Australia, it is important to be prepared before you <a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/overseas-application\/registering-trade-mark-canada\/\">do business in Canada<\/a>. This article will take you through some<strong> <\/strong>tips for Australian businesses searching for Canadian trade marks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Consider Canada\u2019s Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing some of Canada\u2019s intellectual property laws is a great way to be prepared for your Canadian trade mark application search. Some of Canada\u2019s intellectual property rules to consider are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>like Australia, Canada has a \u2018first to use\u2019 rule. This means that the first person who can prove their use of a trade mark will likely have more rights than a person who files a trade mark application at a later date;<\/li><li>Canada will look upon a registered trade mark much more favourably than an unregistered trade mark; and<\/li><li>competitors can remove trade marks not used over a consecutive three year period from the trade mark register.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Know Where to Search<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to know where to check to make sure you are not infringing on a Canadian businesses intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canada\u2019s trade marks are available listed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/overseas-application\/registered-trade-marks-overseas\/\">World Intellectual Property Organisation\u2019s<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wipo.int\/reference\/en\/branddb\/\"> Global Brands Database<\/a>. There, you can check if your chosen trade mark is available to be registered in Canada. Canada also has their own trade mark database called the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ic.gc.ca\/app\/opic-cipo\/trdmrks\/srch\/home?lang=eng\"> Canadian Trademarks Database<\/a>. See below for more information on how to use this database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Language Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canada has two official languages &#8211; French and English. This is important because your trade mark has to be eligible in both languages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if your business is called \u2018small garden\u2019, you will need to search for the words \u2018small\u2019, \u2019garden\u2019, \u2018petit\u2019 and \u2018jardin\u2019 to avoid infringing on someone else\u2019s trade mark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if a trade mark does not sound the same in English and French, if the idea behind the trade mark is the same, it will be considered an infringement. The Canadian Trade Mark Data Base has a bilingual search option to help you with this.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use the Canadian Trade Marks Database<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Canadian Trade Marks Database will only show you 5000 results at a time, based on relevance. Because of this, it is important to tailor your results for the best search possible. You can find some tips for conducting a trade mark search using the Canadian trade mark database below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>try searching using \u2018wildcards\u2019 to enhance your search. For example, use an asterisk (*)&nbsp; to search for a sequence of characters (e.g. search medic* to search for medicine, medical etc.);<\/li><li>refine your search by using the \u2018search field\u2019 option &#8211; this way, you can search by trade mark description, application number, goods associated with a trade mark and more;<\/li><li>take advantage of the additional search options available &#8211; for example, you can search by category, status, action dates and more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your intellectual property is the most important asset of your business. If you plan on trading in Canada, it is essential that you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>know where to do a trade mark search;<\/li><li>look into Canada\u2019s intellectual property law;\u00a0<\/li><li>consider your trade mark in both French and English; and<\/li><li>get the most out of your search on the Canadian Trade Marks Database.<\/li><li>If you need further legal assistance with <a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/applying-for-an-overseas-trademark\">trade marking your business in Canada<\/a>, our <a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/trademark-lawyer\">experienced trade mark lawyers<\/a> can assist.
