    Canada joins five international intellectual property treaties

    The Canadian government has actively promoted the reform of its intellectual property rights in recent years, by joining five international intellectual property rights treaties, including the Industrial design and the Hague Agreement on the international registration of industrial designs, the Patent Law Treaty (PLT), As well as the Madrid Protocol, Singapore Treaty and Nice Agreement related to trademarks, it is hoped that its intellectual property rights system can be consistent with international treaties. Therefore, it is necessary to legislate to adjust existing regulations.

    Canadian trademark single application scope of protection

    In the Nice International Classification of Canada, the scope of protection for a single application can only cover one class, and each additional category requires 100 Canadian dollars, which is different from the previous single application that can cover unlimited types of goods and services.
