This system uses artificial intelligence to automatically analyze goods and services descriptions in new trademark applications, identifying potential deficiencies before a human examiner reviews the file. It also suggests appropriate Nice classification classes for unclassed registered trademarks approaching renewal. When issues are detected, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office sends a pre-assessment letter to the applicant explaining what needs to be corrected. The use of AI in this process is disclosed to applicants.
