Consider a Trademark or a Trade Name

In a recent application to the Canada Trademarks Opposition Board, TSCC 1864 sought (and was granted) continuation of the trademark registration “SPIRE”.

This is a reminder that condominium corporations may wish to consider trademark or trade name registration – particularly for the names of their buildings.

Trademark or trade name registration brings important advantages, including enhanced protection against confusing use of the name (by others) and enhanced enforcement rights (in the event of any dispute about the use of the name).

A trademark/ intellectual property lawyer can provide additional helpful advice about these issues.
