The Canadian Trademarks Office is sending courtesy letters to owners of registered Canadian trademarks inviting them to "group" and "class" the goods and services associated with their registrations.

These letters do not set out any deadline to provide a response.

Trademark owners can check the goods and services listed in their registrations by consulting the Canadian Trademark Database or the Global Brand Database linked from our Resources page. 

There is an advantage to grouping and classing goods and services particularly if the renewal date of a registration is approaching. The number of classes may affect the amount of the renewal fee.

We offer a service to handle the grouping and classing of your Canadian trademark registration.
