Hi Michael,

    I am in the process of undergoing application for a trademark in
    Canada. Here is a link to accurate info. regards precious metals
    marking and stamping in Canada :

   http://competition.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet/incb-bc.nsf/en/cp01107e.html

    Basically, if you want to mark the metal content on your work it has
    to be accompanied with a trademark which you must search and
    register.  This will cost you apx. $300.00.  Not bad when you
    consider that your only ongoing cost for this will be to re-register
    your trademark annually for apx $100.00/yr. 

    There are many good reasons for these regulations - protecting the
    consumer against fraud being the most important. 

    If you do not mark metal content on your work you do not require a
    trademark.  I have signed pieces - this is acceptable. 

Cheers,
Donna Hiebert
Halifax, NS
