Identify the FALSE statement concerning trademarks:

Select one:

a. A trade name cannot be registered under the Trade-marks Act.

b. When you register your trademark, you get the sole right to use the mark across Canada for 15 years. You can renew your trademark every 15 years after that.

c. If you fail to actually use the mark for a long time, your registration may be taken off of the Register of Trademarks, which will make it more difficult to prove legal ownership of the trademark.

d. You do not have to register your trademark; by using a trademark for a certain length of time, you can come to own it according to common law.
