The Canadian Trademarks Act no longer requires recordal of licensees as registered users. The Act simply requires that where a trademark owner has licensed others to use its trademark, the trademark owner must maintain direct or indirect control over the character or quality of the goods or services associated with the mark.
Also, special considerations arise regarding the proper notice to be employed in relation to the licensed goods or services when a trademark is used by a licensee.
