Trade-marks Act (Canada)

The Trade-marks Act (Canada) is a law that protects brand names, logos, and other symbols that identify a business’s products or services. It grants exclusive rights to the owner to use these marks in commerce, preventing others from using confusingly similar marks. The Act helps maintain fair competition, ensures consumers can identify the source of goods or services, and provides legal remedies if someone infringes on a trademark. Essentially, it safeguards the unique identifiers that distinguish a company's brand in the marketplace, fostering trust and brand recognition.
