The Madrid Protocol is an international system for obtaining trade mark protection for a number of countries and/or regions using a single application. Protection (an "International Registration") can only be obtained for countries and regions which have joined the system.The Madrid System is a convenient and cost-effective solution for registering and managing trademarks worldwide. File a single application and pay one set of fees to apply for protection in up to 123 countries.
1, Who can use the Madrid system?
You can use the Madrid System if you have a personal or business connection to one of the System’s members. This means you must either: be domiciled, have an industrial or commercial establishment in, or be a citizen of one of the 123 countries covered by the Madrid System's 107 members.
2, What are the advantages?
1)The cost will almost certainly be less than applying separately for registration for each member country/region.;
2)Protection for some countries/regions may be obtained more quickly than by using the national route. This is because strict time limits are set under the Protocol.;
3)Recordal of changes of name and assignments etc. (and, for some countries/regions, licenses) is carried out centrally via WIPO.;
4)An International Registration can replace a corresponding national/regional registration without loss of rights.;
5)It is usually possible to add extra countries/regions later though these will have their own, later, date.
