Founder & Trademark Attorney
Yes. Canada and the US are separate jurisdictions and require separate trademark registrations. You would file one application with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) and a separate application with the USPTO.
Both can be filed simultaneously. Non-US applicants filing with the USPTO are required to appoint a licensed US attorney. There is no mandatory representation requirement for foreign applicants filing with CIPO, though using a Canadian trademark agent is advisable.
