What is Nuans trademark search report?
A Nuans trademark search helps you find out if someone else is already using a brand name similar to yours in Canada.
- You’ll get a PDF report by email showing the 80 most similar trademarks and what they’re used for.
- The Nuans trademark search is an automated report produced by the Canadian government.
- It includes trademarks applied for or registered using the same word or a similar set of words in the same category or a related category of goods and services
- I call it an enhanced knockout trademark search
Why is it useful?
- It’s quick – you usually get the report within 2 hours of ordering
- It’s cheaper than a full trademark search, which costs $500
- It’s better than the free search on the CIPO government website
- It’s your permanent record of your due diligence that you can use as evidence in an opposition or later court case
When should you use it?
- Before you apply for a trademark
- Before you launch a new product or service
- When you need to clear a word or group of words
- When you need a due diligence report in PDF format
Why apply for a trademark early?
- It can prevent legal problems later
- It stops others from registering your brand name first
What happens after you apply?
- The government will check your application (this takes 24-48 months)
- If approved, you’ll get a “Notice of Approval”
- If no one objects, you can get final approval in about 6 months
Remember: It’s cheaper and easier to apply early than to fight legal battles later!
Comprehensive Trademark Search
The Nuans trademark search is an automated report produced by the Canadian government search algorithm. While it goes beyond identifying exact match trademarks, it’s not a comprehensive trademark search. The Nuans trademark search is not competent at searching for confusingly similar portmanteaus. A comprehensive trademark search is needed to clear portmanteau marks.
