Trademarks are often among the most valuable assets of a business. You need to ensure that your trademarks are available, protected, properly used, maintained and enforced, both in Canada and around the world, so that you are taking advantage of the most up to date protection, and so that your ability to compete is not threatened. We advise businesses on:
- clearance of new trademarks, brands, slogans, tag lines, logos, sound marks, colour marks, product configurations, distinguishing guises, official marks, university marks, and certification marks
- preparation and prosecution of trademark applications in Canada and globally
- trademark infringement and passing off lawsuits, including the prevention of counterfeits
- licensing of trademarks
- due diligence on trademarks involved in business transactions
