International Trademark Registration

Trademark registration is territorial. This means that for each country that you wish to be present in, you must make a separate trademark application. As, most often, the party that makes the trademark application owns the trademark, it is important that you proceed at speed. It is imperative to note that a national trademark registration ends at the country it’s registered in and in no way gives the owner of the trademark any rights outside the nation concerned.

International trademark registration application under the Madrid Protocol must be filed by the trademark applicant through the trademark office of the applicant, known as the office of origin. In case of Indian Businesses, the Office of Registrar of Trademark, India is the office of origin. The office of origin will process the trademark application and file it with the Intellectual Property Organization at Geneva. If the trademark application is found fit, then the mark is recorded in the International Register and published in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Gazette of International Marks.

Once an international trademark is registered under the Madrid Protocol, the mark is registered for 10 years. International trademark registrations can be renewed at the end of the 10 year period directly through WIPO or through the concerned office of origin.

ComplianceIndia helps you with the simplest way to file an International Trademark Registration.

What is the Madrid System?

The Madrid System is a system for the international registration of marks. It provides a means to simultaneously seek protection for a trademark in a large number of jurisdictions. The system is governed by two separate international treaties, the Madrid Agreement (Agreement) and the Madrid Protocol (Protocol). Under the Agreement, nationals of any signatory may secure protection of their trademark, registered in the country of origin, in all other states that are parties to the Agreement. Under the Protocol, nationals of any signatory may secure protection in countries and jurisdictions that are contracting parties to the Protocol based on a pending application or registration in the country or jurisdiction of origin.

Both the Agreement and the Protocol are administered by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). As of September 1, 2008, for countries bound by both the Agreement and the Protocol, only the provisions of the Protocol apply. Consequently, from that date, International Registrations are governed exclusively by the Protocol (1) in all jurisdictions that are party only to the Protocol and (2) in those jurisdictions that are party to both the Protocol and the Agreement. The Agreement governs only those jurisdictions that are bound solely by the Agreement.
