Notes
The notification by Canada to the WTO under Article 63.2 of TRIPS states:
'This Act amends the Trade-Marks Act. These amendments allow Canada to accede to three trademark treaties: Madrid Protocol, Singapore Treaty and the Nice Agreement.
The amendments to 'Act to Implement Certain Provisions of the Budget Tabled in Parliament on February 11, 2014, and other Measures' include a number of provisions that are consistent with these three treaties and aim to align Canada's trademark regime with international best practices, streamline procedures, and reduce the costs of doing business.
The coming into force date will be determined after the Trademark Regulations have been revised, and relevant IT systems have been updated. The coming into force date of the changes will be established in the new Trade-Marks Regulations, which are currently being drafted.'
Section 368 states that except for Section 367, Division 25 of Chapter 20 enters into force on a day to be fixed by order of the Governor in Council.
