58.1. Despite section 58, on public signs and posters and in commercial advertising, a trademark may be drawn up, even partially, only in a language other than French, provided the trademark is registered within the meaning of the Trademarks Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. T-13) and no corresponding French version appears in the register kept according to that Act.
However, on public signs and posters visible from outside premises, French must be markedly predominant where such a trademark appears in a language other than French.
