Benefits
Domain Name Trademark registration is the most effective way of protecting your website domain name. To avoid a domain name dispute apply for trademark registration immediately after you buy the domain.
Registration of a domain name with an Internet registration authority does not give you any protection or right to use the domain name commercially in Canada.
The right to use a domain name is determined by trademark law in the countries from which that website is accessible.
If a non-resident wishes to register a .CA domain name, filing a Canadian trademark application for that name is one of the qualifying factors considered by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority.
Process
Registration to trademark a domain name usually involves:- A preliminary search of existing trade-marks;
- An application;
- An examination of your application by the Trade-marks Office;
- Publishing of the application in the Trade-marks Journal (if approved by the examiner);;
- Time for opposition (challenges) to the application; and
- Allowance and registration (if there is no opposition).
