🐯 Remember the popular roaring lion that appeared before every episode of Tom and Jerry and movies like The Wizard of Oz? That popular roaring lion symbol of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studios brought sound trademarks to Canada.

On March 28, 2012, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office changed its longstanding position by issuing a practice notice stating guidelines for applicants to follow when applying for sound trademarks. This notice required applicants to provide –

⭐ A statement that the application is for the registration of a sound mark,
⭐ A drawing that graphically represents the sound,
⭐ A description of the sound, and
⭐ An electronic recording of the sound to be submitted in specific formats
