What is a Trade-mark Agent? Trade-mark Lawyer?
If you want to register a trade-mark in Canada and would like some professional help, a registered trade-mark agent is the help you need. A trade-mark agent is licensed by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office(CIPO) to represent trade-mark applicants. Only you or your trade-mark agent can represent you before CIPO on trade-mark matters.
Trade-mark agents are different from trade-mark lawyers. Some lawyers are trade-mark agents, but a person does not have to be lawyer to be a trade-mark agent. Trade-mark agents who are lawyers can represent trade-mark applicants as well as trade-mark owners in court proceedings such as infringement and in trade-mark transactions such as licensing and sales.
At Avery Law Office, we are a boutique law firm offering trade-mark services as both a registered trade-mark agent and trade-mark lawyer.
