When a Canadian business owner thinks about setting up in the US, often the first question is what kind of corporate structure should be used.
In simple terms, the choices available for a business structure in the US are similar to the choices available in Canada. The reason why different structures exist is that they allow different combinations of limited liability and tax treatment for the entity and its owners.

In Canada, trademark rights fundamentally depend on the trademark owner’s continued use of the mark. As written earlier, in this context, “use” has a special meaning: products must be marked with the trademark when the product is sold in the ordinary course of trade, or, for services, the mark must somehow be displayed when the services are performed.
