Madrid Trademark Registration
Madrid Protocol System:
The Madrid Protocol is the primary system used for registering a trademark in multiple jurisdiction worldwide, and offers a way to legally protect a trademark in some seventy countries, including the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, via a single application. For an international company, this option is more cost effective, and less time consuming than the application to individual countries.
In order to register a trademark under the Madrid Protocol, it is first necessary to register it in one of the member jurisdictions. Once this basic registration of the trademark is achieved, an application is made to extend the basic registration to any number of the members of the protocol.
Although an application under the Madrid Protocol is more expensive, such protection should be considered if you are planning to reach a global market with your products or services, or if you plan to operate an international website.
The main advantages of registering an international trademark using the Madrid Protocol are as follows: the Madrid Protocol allows a trademark owner to obtain trademark protection in all of the member states
