Can I register a trademark in more than one country?

Yes, you can register a trademark in more than one country. Trademark registration is a country-specific process, so trademarks should be registered in each country separately. This is because trademark rights are only enforceable in the country in which it is registered. Trademark registration in Washington does not extend protection to other countries. So if you want to protect your trademark in multiple countries, you must register it in each country. This can be a costly and time-consuming process, but it is essential to ensure the widest possible protection for your mark. Also, if you plan to expand your business into other countries, it can be beneficial to register your trademark in those countries in advance, rather than waiting and risking someone else taking your mark. Additionally, registering your trademark in multiple countries may give you the option to protect your trademark using an international treaty like the Madrid Protocol. Speak to your lawyer or trademark agent for advice on protecting your trademark internationally.
