During the 1960's and 1970's, Marque d'Or expanded its range of products to other legal supplies. In 1979, it added corporate name searches to its services and, in 1982, W. D.

Services

• Computerized Corporate Services

  These services essentially focus on the incorporation of a company and the drafting of its organizational proceedings. Marque d'Or also sells shelf (i. e., pre-incorporated) companies and is able to provide full-range updating services, from the incorporation to the dissolution of a company.

• Corporate Information

  Upon request, Marque d'Or will transmit all information on a company which is available from the government, such as the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, its date of incorporation, its corporate name, etc. It will also obtain for its clients certified copies of the certificates of incorporation and other government documents.

• Movable Hypothecs

  Together with Info-Titres, Marque d'Or, through CCNS Quebec, offers movable hypothec (personal property security) registrations as well as related computerized search services.

• Name Searches

  The duty to find an original name lies with the business in question or with legal counsel representing it. This implies that the proposed name must be compared with other existing names before it may be used. Marque d'Or currently conducts such searches and will soon broaden its services to include trade-mark searches.

• On-line Information And Technical Support Centre

  Marque d'Or's goal is to establish an information and technical support centre with respect to the practice of corporate/commercial law in Canada. This centre will be available on the information highway as a World Wide Web site and geared mainly towards users who are legal professionals or aspire to become professionals. Thanks to its intelligent bi-directional communication features, the system will allow transactions to be carried out in conjunction with the client. Thus, name and trade-mark searches in Canada will be conducted on the basis of phonetic equivalencies with the help of a knowledge-based system. Marque d'Or will also provide information in this field and a bulletin board which will enable exchanges with users.

• Verification And Filing Of Documents

  After pick-up from the client's offices of the articles of incorporation and notices to be filed with the Inspector General or the Director, Marque d'Or verifies the documents in order to detect any error likely to delay their filing.
