Odutola on Canadian Trademark Practice is one of its kind resource that provides an insightful inquiry into the Canadian legal landscape. This three-volume thorough book is the only text that analyzes and details the practice and procedure of the Canadian Trademarks Office and Trademarks Opposition Board with respect to filing, examination, post advertisement, registration, and post-registration issues.

Volume I covers both the substantive and procedural aspects of prosecuting a trademark application, effecting changes of title, perfecting security interests, and amending and renewing a registration.

Volumes II and III cover the fundamentals of trademark opposition practice, including the jurisdiction of the Trademarks Opposition Board as an administrative tribunal, evidentiary and pleading requirements, and the mechanics and strategies of trademark opposition and summary cancellation proceedings.

The text is supported by extensive references to case law, statutes, and annotated cross-references to the Trademarks Act, trademarks regulations, Trademarks Office, Trademarks Opposition Board Practice Notices, and other source materials. The book helps in building better business strategies and work more effectively with Canadian counterparts on handling all aspects of trademark administration.
