| Canadian Trade Marks. | This version of the Canadian
Trade-marks Database is comprised of all active and many inactive
marks that were either applied-for or registered pursuant to the current
Trade-marks Act or former trade-mark legislation. The database
also includes all trade-marks which were canceled, expunged, abandoned
or refused after 1979, and some, but not all marks which were canceled,
expunged, abandoned or refused prior to 1979.
The database also includes additional words and designs which are not by definition trade-marks, but that are protected by the Trade-marks Act or other related legislation. These are prohibited marks for which public notice has been given pursuant to Section 9 of the Trade-marks Act. Also included are plant variety denominations granted pursuant to the Plant Breeders' Rights Act, the Symbols and Badges of the Boy Scouts of Canada and the Girl Guides of Canada and marks of the Royal Canadian Legion. Furthermore, geographical indications for wines and spirits which have been entered on the list or for which protection has been sought are also part of the database. |

| Japanese Figure Trade Marks | In the Figure Trademark Search Service,
the figurative elements of figure trademarks are coded, and each is
allotted a term (figure term). These figure terms are used as
search keys to search for trademarks that have identical figure terms
from the list of figure trademarks that are currently registered/valid,
as well as those that are pending. When the relevant trademarks
are retrieved, the results are displayed on the screen.
Because the similarity of a trademark must be judged comprehensively from the appearance, appellation and concept of the trademark, there is no guarantee that all figure trademarks retrieved in this service are similar. (See Section 4(1)(xi) of Trademark Examination Guidelines 9). Find out more.
