Frequently Asked Questions

A NUANS Report Search is a tool that compares the name you want to incorporate under against existing corporate names and trademarks. This is usually done before applying for incorporation. It can be used for name changes and other applications for corporate names.

Entrepreneurs, startups, corporations, non-residents, consultants, and professionals who wish to have a named corporation require a NUANS name search before proceeding with filing. A pre-search can be useful in case you wish to conduct a name search prior to purchasing a report.

No. The requirements vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of filing. Additionally, some federal filings include the name search as part of the filing process through the online filing system.

It may also be useful for entrepreneurs, companies, healthcare professionals, real estate professionals, and contractors who want to minimize the chances of picking a name that might infringe on another trademark. It is another layer of protection before filing or launching.

A corporate name must be distinctive, i.e., it should not be confusingly similar to other names or trademarks, and it should not contain any prohibited or misleading words. In addition, certain corporations must contain a required legal element such as “Inc.,” “Ltd.,” or “Corporation.”

You will usually need the exact proposed name and the filing details that match your intended transaction. For an Ontario filing, the reference number, report date, and proposed name from the NUANS report may be necessary with the application.

Name appeal is used when a name for a corporation has been rejected, and you wish to make a counterargument with supporting reasons. It is also useful when the grounds for rejecting a name are based on confusion, descriptiveness, prohibited words, and so on.

A NUANS report can also identify names that may be confusingly similar in nature to existing corporate names, business names, or trademarks, which is another important compliance aspect in the context of name approval in Canada.

Your application can be refused, delayed, or disputed if it requires a NUANS report and you do not provide the correct information for it. Even if a separate report is not required, choosing a name that is conflicting can lead to problems.

Yes. You should continue to use a name that remains compliant and does not cause confusion with other businesses or trademarks as your business grows. In the case of trade names in Ontario, there are considerations related to renewals that can impact the evaluation of older trade names.
