International Trademark Registration Thru Madrid Protocol

The Madrid protocol offers a trademark owner the possibility to have trademark protected in several countries (see below) by simply filing one application.

International applications may file thru Trade Mark Office of the member country or file directly with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) in Geneva.

WIPO conducts a formalities examination and forward the application to all the countries designated for protection. Each of the national Trade Mark office has up to 18 months to refuse the application. The trade mark is deemed to be registered in the designated countries if there is no refusal or refusal has been overcome.
