Eighth Edition of Vienna Classification Implemented by CIPO


The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has implemented the classification schema in accordance with the Eighth Edition of the Vienna classification (VCL).

The updates will not impact the current layout of disseminated trademarks data, in the sense that no new data fields will be created. However, a number of trademark records will be reclassified to comply with the schema. The reclassification process will occur over a period of eight (8) weeks, starting the week of October 15, 2018.
