Trademark Law

Trademark Lawyer in Toronto, ON

Trademark law is the law about what words, designs, logos or symbols people can use to sell their goods and services to their customers.

Perhaps more importantly, when first choosing a trademark it is important to avoid choosing a mark that infringes someone else’s already-existing trademark rights, and to choose a trademark that is widely enforceable.
