Procedure for applying trade mark registration
Ⅰ. A word, logo or both, which is distinctive, can be applied for trademark registration.
任何具顯著性的文字﹑圖案或文字加圖案的标記均可申請注冊。

Ⅱ. An availability search is usually recommended to find out whether there is any similar or identical filed/registered marks which may bar your application. After the search, the filing of the mark will be applied in the specified class with up to 10 designated goods or services. There are totally 45 classes. The fees for trademark application is for 15 years and the trademark could be renewed every 15 years.
申請前查詢的作用是找出類似或相同并對申請有影響的已申請/注冊的商标。查詢後商标要分類才可申請注冊，總共有45類，每類之項目隻可包括十項産品。費用爲有效期十五年。之後可在到期日或之前，續期十五年。
Ⅲ. Multi-class application is admitted in Canada.
多項類別申請在加拿大是公認的

Ⅳ. The mark will be examined and advertised for opposition in the Trade-Marks Journal about six (6) weeks after the date of the notice of acceptance. If no opposition (i.e. no one opposes your application) is filed within opposition period (three months) or extension, then the trademark will be registered upon receiving the registration fees, then a Registration Certificate will be issued. A straight-forward trade mark application (i.e. no official action and/or third party objection) in Canada normally takes on average 12 to 15 months to mature to registration. However, if the application was based upon proposed use and there is a delay about using the mark in Canada the time may be considerably longer as the registration will not issue until the mark has been used and the declaration of use is filed.
提交申請後，商标注冊署審查員會對申請作出審查。如申請合乎商标法條例及沒有抵觸其他已注冊或已申請注冊的商标，注冊署會發出公告許可證及列明商标獲準注冊所須遵辦的條件。如在公告日期起計之6個星期内沒有人提出反對，申請人便可申領注冊證書。由申請日至發出證書需時大約12到15個月。可是如申請之商标尚未在加拿大使用，那麽注冊将會延遲直至得到使用證明宣誓。

REMARKS

1. It is important to note that all figures given above are estimates rather than strict quotations, and are representative of our typical current charges on ordinary cases of ordinary complexity. The cost will be higher if, in carrying out the work, more time is required than is here anticipated, or if any additional matters or points arise. The estimates are based upon the information that is presently available and prevailing exchange rates (other than HKD and AUD mentioned above). We cannot guarantee the estimates for obvious reasons.
