INFRINGEMENT<br />
718. Infringement occurs when the trademark or a confusing<br />
trademark is used by someone other than the registered<br />
owner who is not an authorized licencee. In order to prevent<br />
loss of distinctiveness and to prevent the registration of<br />
confusing trademarks by others, appropriate steps should<br />
be taken to protect and enforce trademark rights. (CIPO<br />
Notes on Maintaining a Canadian Trademark Registration,<br />
26 Oct 2005).<br />
RIGHTS OUTSIDE CANADA<br />
719. The rights obtained by registering the trademark in Canada<br />
do not extend outside Canada. (CIPO Notes on Maintaining<br />
a Canadian Trademark Registration, 26 Oct 2005).<br />
