Trademark Application Examination Timeline and Best Practices:

CIPO Examination Timeline:

Standard review: 30-40 months
Expedited review: 18-24 months if using CIPO’s pre-approved list of goods and services.

Filing Tips:

1. Submit your trademark exactly as you use it:

• Match the exact appearance on your products/services
• Include all design elements if using a logo
• Use the precise spelling and format

2. Goods and Services Strategy:

• Basic applications can include:
  • Word marks or design marks
  • Up to 10 items in one class
  • Additional items/classes increase government fees

3. Important Cautions:

• Avoid overly broad listings of goods/services
• List only items you genuinely intend to use
• Broad claims increase risk of:
  • Confusion with existing marks
  • Opposition from other trademark owners
  • Vulnerability to non-use cancellation after 3 years

There is no longer a CIPO registration fee. Your trademark will become registered after a notice of allowance is issued. Read about the details to Canada’s 2019 law on trademark applications.

We also offer automated Nuans trademark searches for $49 each. We send you a PDF file that you can review and see if there might be issues with confusingly similar trademarks already on the trademark register.
