This decision relates to a motion for a summary trial in respect
of an action relating to various trademarks (the Marks). The Court
was asked to consider three issues relating to whether the
plaintiff is the owner and the person entitled to register the CORE
CONSULTANTS REALTY trademark in association with commercial realty
services in Canada; whether the defendants infringed the
plaintiff's rights in a trademark registration for the CORE
Logo; and whether the defendants should be enjoined from using the
CORE CONSULTANTS REALTY trademark in association with commercial
realty services in Canada. The motion was granted, and the
defendants were permanently enjoined.
Beginning in 2015, the plaintiff began using a CORE Logo and
CORE REALTY CONSULTANTS in association with his commercial realty
brokerage business in Montréal. CORE REALTY CONSULTANTS was
transitioned to CORE CONSULTANTS REALTY beginning in 2016.
