Canadian Industrial Designs Database Help

Introduction

This Help file is provided to assist in conducting searches on this database. It is divided into the following sections:

Contents of the database

The Database includes all industrial designs which were registered as of June 15, 2002, pursuant to the Industrial Design Act. It does not provide the images of assignment documents and pre-2002 registration information. You may obtain copies of these documents at the Client Service Centre, or contact us. Electronic capture of pre-2002 registrations is underway; these documents will be added as they become available.

Updates

The database is updated every Thursday.

Other information sources

Additional information is available on the Industrial Designs main page, in particular the Guide to Industrial Designs and the Industrial Design Act.

Problems?

If you have difficulty using the database, please contact the Client Service Centre.
