• Application and registration fee
• The applicant needs to pay 250 for filing the
  application and also he should be aware that
  there are no classes in the Canadian trademark
  practice. This is one of the reasons why fee
  always sticks to 250. Later the client will have
  to pay 200 once registered. The agencies assist
  you in many ways and make registration process
  faster and simpler. You should be aware of the
  information needed to be filled and Patent agents
  provide you such information. According to
  trademark agency you should give following
  information in the filing.

• Information needed
• There should be a full and legal name of the
  applicant who wants to file the trademark
  application. Then Trademark agent ask you to
  provide your full address, principal office or
  place of business. After providing these two
  information, you will be required by the
  trademark agency to write about the trademark,
  whether it is a design or a mark and so on and it
  is preferred that you give this information in
  electronic format. Next information that you will
  be required to give will be about the products
  for which you want to use the trademark. You can
  attach the list of the products if there are
  many. In case of services, the patent agent will
  suggest you to provide the list of services or a
  service that you want to offer and intending to
  use trademark for the same.

• Assistance of the agents
• Trademark agents tell you that you should give
  the information if the design, logo or anything
  you are intending to use a trademark has been
  used in Canada to your knowledge. If it has been
  used then you will need to provide the date when
  it was used first. Also even if the trademark has
  been used in any other country or anywhere else
  other than Canada then the authority will ask for
  details of the application/registration including
  the country where it is filed. Also, if the
  trademark application filed outside Canada is
  pending then details such as date of filing, the
  number of the application, registration details
  of the trademark if any outside Canada, date of
  registration and registration number is needed.
  These information could be easily collected and
  handled by a trademark agency with their
  expertise and experience in the field which is
  why instead of pondering for the information,
  hiring an agency is always better.
