Trademark Management in Canada: Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Canada is a key jurisdiction for businesses expanding into North America, and protecting your brand through proper trademark management is essential. The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) maintains a strict regulatory framework that requires diligence, local representation, and timely updates to trademark records. Liesegang & Partner supports international clients in navigating the Canadian trademark system efficiently and in full compliance with local requirements.

Our Trademark Management Services for Canada

Our core trademark services in Canada include:

  • Change of Trademark Ownership (Canada): Officially record a change in trademark ownership due to mergers, acquisitions, or inheritance.

Why the Above-Mentioned Products Are Important

Each service plays a vital role in maintaining and protecting your trademark rights in Canada:

  • Change of Contact Details: Ensures you receive all official correspondence from the trademark office, helping avoid unintentional loss of rights.
  • Change of Ownership: Legally required to ensure the new owner can enforce rights, license the trademark, or sell it in future transactions.
