Registration of Trademarks & Copyrights
Patrola Law regularly files Canadian trademark and copyright applications on be half of clients and assists in filing similar applications applied for in other countries.
You are going to invest a lot of time and money to build your brand and it is important that:
- You can prevent others from using same/similar trademarks (including brand names) as yours in Canada; and
- You do not infringe on someone else's trademark when you're starting your business.
In other words, you don't want someone else to piggyback off all the hard work you have done to build your brand.
Also, you avoid the costly mistake of using and promoting a brand without realizing someone else owns the trademark rights to the same.
