Fellow Canadian Mike Elgar posted on Instagram earlier this week that he was not fooled by knock-off ‘Tim Mortons’ Mocha Blend Coffee Mix found on the shelves in South Korea in the Capital of Seoul.
The fraudulent ‘Tim Mortons’ Coffee with the red italic writing is almost identical to Tim Hortons logo as displayed above.
Tim Hortons spokeswomen Michelle Robichaud out of Toronto said the company is thrilled to see that its brand is recognized all over the world, but added that the company will be vigilant in protecting its intellectual property.
Michelle Robichaud said the company will take the steps necessary to protect its trademark but did not specify what those would be.
As of yet Tim Hortons has no outlets in South Korea.
