The Nice system facilitates searching for and comparing different marks, which promotes the efficient administration of the trademark system, and effects other consequential amendments arising from adherence to the Madrid protocol or the Singapore treaty, such as simplifying the requirements for obtaining a filing date, eliminating the need to declare the use of a trademark before registration, which would greatly reduce the time it takes to obtain registration, and requiring use of a trademark in the Canadian market in order to seek injunction relief from the courts.
Ce système de classification facilite la recherche et la comparaison de différentes marques de commerce. Ainsi, il serait plus facile d'administrer le système d'enregistrement des marques de commerce de manière efficiente, et d'appliquer d'autres modifications connexes découlant de l'adoption du Protocole de Madrid et du Traité de Singapour.
