What is the typical timeline for trademark registration in the US and Canada?

Estimated registration times in North America

Here is what you can generally expect from each national office:

• Canada: Registration usually takes about 12–18 months. The review at CIPO can include extra examination steps and delays, which stretches the timeline.
• United States: The process typically runs 8–12 months. Expect it to take longer if the application meets objections or oppositions.
