    312 Obtaining a Trademark in a foreign country

    A Canadian trademark does not protect your rights in foreign markets. To protect your rights as the registered owner of the trademark in other countries where your trademark will be used, you should apply to register the trademark in those countries.

    Because the laws are often different in foreign countries and because it can be very complicated to register a foreign trademark, you should contact a registered trademark agent to help you register your trademark in a foreign country.
