Overview of Registration Process
The normal trademark registration process takes about 36 months. You can still use your trademark before registration, and in fact it’s usually to your benefit to. The normal trademark registration stages are:
Stage 1: Awaiting First Response From CIPO – After CIPO receives your application, it currently takes about 30 months before you hear back from them.
Stage 2: Examiner’s Report – If there are objections they can take six to twelve months to resolve.
Stage 3: Publication and Opposition – Your mark is then published in the weekly Trademark Journal. The public then has 2 months to object. If there is an Objection, it can take years to resolve.
Stage 4: Registration – If there are no objections, CIPO will then register your trademark. By this time, if all goes well, it's about three to four years after you've applied.
