On June 17, 2019, significant amendments to the Canadian Trademarks Act and Trademarks Regulations enacted through Bills C-30 (2014) and C-86 (2018) come into force. These amendments considerably alter trademark prosecution, opposition, and enforcement practice, as well as introduce new Trademark Office practices, including examinations for distinctiveness and Registrar initiated section 45 proceedings. Attend this timely program to learn about navigating the latest Practice Notices published by the Trademarks Office, and to identify and understand the pitfalls and best practices for trademark owners and practitioners under the new regime.
