Corporate name protection is second only to Trademark Protection. The corporate name is protected across Canada. Corporate name is only protected in the province or territory of incorporation.
Federal Name Granting Guidelines are very strict and many proposed names are rejected. Incorporator's responsibility to ensure that proposed corporate name is available for use. Names are not usually rejected unless they conflict with another confusingly similar name already in use.
