Everything you need to know about International Trademark Registration and global brand protection.
An International Trademark allows a business or individual to protect their brand name, logo, or symbol in multiple countries through a single application. It is filed under the Madrid Protocol, which simplifies global trademark protection by covering over 100 member countries with one centralized process.
The Madrid Protocol is an international treaty administered by WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization). It enables trademark owners to apply for protection in multiple countries by submitting one application through their national trademark office. Each designated country then examines the mark under its own laws before granting or refusing protection.
Any individual or business that has a valid national trademark registration or application in a country that is a member of the Madrid Protocol can apply for international protection. The applicant must be a national, resident, or have a business establishment in one of the member countries.
The benefits include:
Lawcify helps streamline this process, ensuring your brand receives global protection seamlessly.
An International Trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the date of registration and can be renewed indefinitely for additional 10-year periods. Lawcify assists you in managing renewals across all jurisdictions to ensure uninterrupted protection.
