Well, I have to think that would still have an impact on the corporation even if this happened in anther country.

There is zero affiliation between the 2 companies.

From that article it looks like Target Australia is owned by a conglomerate that also owns Kmart in Australia.

Just an FYI, threw a prefix on the thread title.

So, do they license the Target name and logo?

Rights to the logo and name were granted by Dayton Hudson corp way back when.

Target Australia is not the same company as target USA in any way shape or form. Absolutely no affiliation. Somehow they just have the same name.

It's basically two companies that have the same name and logo and pretend the other doesn't exist

They purchased rights to it in 1968.
