CIPO begins Pilot Project on Expungement Proceeding
Canada’s Trademarks Opposition Board has announced a new pilot project according to which it will send non-use cancellation notices to a randomly selected sample of registered trademark owners. The stated purpose of the project is to help ensure that the Canadian trademark register “accurately reflects trademarks that are in use, and in association with the goods and services listed in the registration.”
