How we can help your clients secure their trade-mark rights. |
 Does a Canadian trade-mark registration provide rights in other countries?
No. The trade-mark law is national. Generally, we must register the mark in each country where we need protection. |
 If a trade-mark is listed in the Quebec Enterprise Register, is that enough to guarantee protection of ownership?
No entitlement to a name is acquired by a registrant by the sole fact of the entry of the name in the Quebec Enterprises register. |
 Can I use ®, TM, TM or MC symbols next to my trade-mark?
In Canada, there is no legal obligation to use the ® , TM, MC or MD symbols. |
 If I’m selling my company, can I also sell my trade-mark?
Trade-marks are valuable assets and can be sold, pledged or transferred to legacy. They can also provide royalties when they are used under licenses. |
