Filing a Revised Trade-Mark Application
(Form for applicant)
This form may only be used if, you have previously filed an application for the registration
of a trade-mark and you have received a filing receipt from our office indicating the filing
particulars which includes the filing date and application number. This form is not to be used to
submit a revised application to the Trade-marks Opposition board. The Trade-marks Opposition board
is not prepared to accept revised applications filed electronically at this point in time.
Please Note: The following information sets out the changes that are not permissible:
Section 31(Trade-mark Regulations 1996). No application for the registration of a trade-mark
may be amended where the amendment would change
(a) the identity of the applicant, except after recognition of a transfer by the
Registrar;
(b) the trade-mark, except in respects that do not alter its distinctive
character or affect its identity;
(c) the date of first use or making known in Canada of the trade-mark to an
earlier date, except where the evidence proves that the change is justified
by the facts;
(d) the application from one not alleging use or making known of the
trade-mark in Canada before the filing of the application to one alleging such
use or making known; or
(e) the statement of wares or services so as to be broader than the
statement of wares or services contained in the application at the time the
application was filed pursuant to section 30 of the Act.
Section 32(Trade-mark Regulations 1996). No application for the registration of a trade-mark
may be amended, after it has been advertised in the Journal, to change
(a) the trade-mark in any manner whatsoever;

(c) the application from one alleging use or making known to one for a
proposed trade-mark;
(d) the application from one that does not allege that the trade-mark has
been used and registered in or for a country of the Union to one that does
so allege; or
(e) the statement of wares or services so as to be broader than the
statement of wares or services contained in the application at the time of
advertisement.
