The Trademark Act is a territory-based law, and the protection of a registered trademark is made on the territory basis. Hence, it is possible for different people to acquire the registration of an identical trademark in different countries. If a manufacturer considers any global factor with respect to the operation and marketing strategies of its trademarked goods/services, it has to seek international protection by filing applications in the countries where its goods/services are provided.
