FAQs.
-
Yes! This is one of the most common misconceptions about trademarks.
A registered business name does almost nothing to protect your business and its reputation.
A trademark registration is the only way to properly protect your brand across Canada.
-
That depends. In 2025, a Canadian trademark registration can take anywhere from 16 months to 4+ years.
But with professional trademark guidance, you can often avoid being on the higher end of that range.
-
It can last decades.
Once your trademark application is approved, it will be registered for 10 years. At the end of the initial 10 year period, you can renew your registration for another 10 years (and repeat again and again).
-
You can trademark all sorts of things. Here are just a few examples:
Words
Logos
Slogans
Business Names
You can even trademark sounds, colours, smells, and tastes.
