Design Primer

What are the steps involved to obtain an industrial design registration in Canada?

Typically, preparing an industrial design application begins with preparing drawings illustrating the features of the design.

Once the drawings are ready, the application can be prepared and filed.  The Canadian Intellectual Property Office will then examine the application to ensure that it is registrable. Objections can be raised by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, in which case arguments can be advanced and/or amendments can be made to the application.
