Club Rendezvous (Club R Canada) responds to the Toys “R” Us Canada trademark dispute currently being discussed in the media.
Official Statement
Club R Canada is aware of recent media coverage regarding a trademark matter involving Toys “R” Us Canada. This matter is currently being addressed through the appropriate legal channels.
This is not a lawsuit. This is a trademark application matter being addressed through the standard process.
Trademark applications can be opposed by third parties as part of the normal review process.
We want to be clear: Club R operates in a completely different industry as a private, adult-focused lifestyle and events brand. Our services, audience, and business model are entirely distinct, and we do not believe there is any realistic likelihood of confusion.
Club R is a commonly used short form of Club Rendezvous, a modern, members-only lifestyle club based in Calgary, with expansion planned for Edmonton. We provide curated social experiences, themed events, and a private community for open-minded adults in a structured, respectful, and professionally managed environment.
While some outdated terminology may still appear online, it does not accurately reflect the nature of our brand or the broader lifestyle community today.
The Club R brand has been developed independently and in good faith. We remain confident in our position and in the clear distinction between our business and any unrelated industries.
Trademark law is based on the likelihood of confusion between businesses, and we believe that distinction is both clear and well understood.
Is Club R being sued by Toys “R” Us?
No. This is not a lawsuit. It is a trademark application matter being addressed through the standard process.
What is Club R?
Club R is a commonly used short form of Club Rendezvous, a private members lifestyle club in Calgary.
Is there any connection to Toys “R” Us?
No. Club Rendezvous operates in a completely different industry with no overlap in products, services, or audience.
Does this affect events or operations?
No. Calgary operations and events continue as normal, and Edmonton remains in development.
Our focus remains on our members, our events, and continuing to grow our community in Calgary, with Edmonton launching in the near future.
We appreciate the continued support from our members and the broader community.
As this is an ongoing matter, we will not be providing additional comment at this time.
