Using Canada Goose on Etsy: Trademark Guide for Sellers

High Risk

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Canada Goose aggressively enforces its brand name, Arctic disc logo, and distinctive parka designs. Counterfeiting is a major issue for the brand, making enforcement particularly strict.

What You Can Do

  • Sell authentic pre-owned Canada Goose items with proof of authenticity
  • Use "Canada Goose" in tags when selling genuine or compatible products
  • Describe items as "compatible with" or "fits" Canada Goose products
  • Provide repair, alteration, or cleaning services for authentic items

What You Cannot Do

  • Use the Canada Goose name or logo on handmade or custom products without a license
  • Create "inspired by" or "dupe" items that reference Canada Goose in titles or tags
  • Use Canada Goose imagery, patterns, or trade dress in product photos or designs
  • Claim or imply any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by Canada Goose

Safe Alternatives

  • Use generic descriptive terms (e.g., "luxury-style", "designer-inspired look") without naming the brand
  • Create original designs in a similar aesthetic without referencing Canada Goose
  • Focus on materials, techniques, and style descriptions rather than brand names
