Trade-marks

Besides providing registrability and availability opinion and preparing, filing and prosecuting trade-mark applications in Canada, our team comprised of lawyers and trade-mark agents help clients maximize the value of their trade-marks by properly protecting, defending and managing them abroad. Our team also participates in the drafting and negotiating of trade-mark license agreements and helps clients put in place broad licensing programs which can generate new revenue streams while building the strength of a trade-mark or of a trade-mark portfolio.

Furthermore, our team works closely with our clients’ marketing departments and marketing firms to ensure branding and marketing efforts are in line with current trade-mark law as well as with regulations having an impact on branding and labelling in Canada and the province of Quebec, such as the Food and Drugs Act and the Charte de la langue française.
