Ontario|Intellectual PropertyIndustrial Designs 333 Registering your Design in a foreign country Registering your design in Canada only provides legal protection for your design rights in Canada. In the United States, there is a similar type of protection known as 'design patent' protection. In order to obtain protection in other countries, you must make separate design applications in those countries. This process can be very complicated.
You should contact a lawyer if you want to protect your ownership of an industrial design in a foreign country.
