GoldMark IP handles the entire Canadian trademark process — commercial clearance search through to CIPO submission — with the precision of a law firm and none of the hourly billing.
No retainers. No hourly rates. No surprises.
Flat-rate trademark filing by a specialist who knows the CIPO system inside and out — from clearance search to confirmation.
From the initial clearance search to the CIPO confirmation number, every step is handled with precision — covering your current business and every direction you plan to grow.
We run a full commercial conflict search using Corsearch — the same software trademark lawyers use — across CIPO, USPTO, and international databases to confirm your mark is clean before we file.
Complete national trademark application — applicant details, mark type, goods & services descriptions, and Nice Classification strategy. Filed correctly and comprehensively the first time.
We map every revenue stream your business runs now or plans to run, filing across every applicable Nice Class so your trademark grows with your business rather than limiting it.
When CIPO issues an Examiner's Report requesting clarification or amendments, we prepare and file a professional response on your behalf within the required deadline.
Running multiple brands or product lines? We coordinate filings across all classes and marks, giving your entire brand portfolio the systematic protection it deserves.
Canadian trademarks last 10 years and require renewal. We track your renewal date, alert you in advance, and handle the filing so your mark never lapses through oversight.
Most clients go from first contact to filed application in under 48 hours. Here is exactly what happens at every step.
Complete a short intake form. Your business name, what you do, and where you're taking it. Five minutes, no jargon.
We run a full Corsearch conflict search across Canadian and international databases to verify your mark is available and defensible.
We draft your goods & services descriptions, determine all applicable Nice Classes, and prepare the complete CIPO submission.
Your application is submitted to CIPO and you receive your application number. Your priority date is locked in from this moment forward.
All packages include the clearance search, application preparation, and filing. Government fees are listed separately — they go directly to CIPO.
A trademark lawyer typically charges $1,500–$3,000 for the same filing, billed by the hour. GoldMark IP provides the same commercial-grade clearance search and CIPO filing expertise at a flat rate — no retainers, no hourly surprises.
We file your application within 48 hours of receiving your information. CIPO then takes 18–24 months to fully examine and approve. Your brand is protected from the filing date — which is exactly why filing quickly matters.
CIPO charges $347.69 for the first Nice Class, and $149.04 per additional class. These fees go directly to the Government of Canada and are passed through at cost — zero markup from us.
It happens on some filings. CIPO may request clarification or amendments. We offer response handling as an add-on at $350 per response — or we'll guide you through responding yourself. You're never left stranded.
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Filing under "proposed use" locks in your priority date for future services. We analyze every direction your business might grow and include it in the filing from day one.
GoldMark IP currently focuses exclusively on Canadian CIPO filings. If you require USPTO or Madrid Protocol coverage alongside your Canadian registration, we'll point you toward the right resources for each jurisdiction.
Send a message and we'll follow up within a few hours. Most applications are filed within 48 hours of your first contact. No obligation — we'll tell you exactly what coverage looks like for your business before you commit to anything.
