International Trademark 

Madrid System

Internationalize your trademark with the Madrid System

Ensures trademark protection in several countries, through a single application.

The legal basis of the Madrid System is the Madrid Agreement (1891), an international treaty which was superseded by the entry into force of the Madrid Protocol, whereas both implemented the so-called “international trademark” system. These treaties innovated as it was no longer required for applicants to file multiple applications for their trademarks in each individual country, being only necessary to file one single application based in the original trademark, simplifying in a significant manner the bureaucratic processes and thereby reducing time and costs spent.

However, the designated national offices retain the right to decide if trademarks are registered or not, according to their own national laws, which means that the process is not unitary while creating a bundle of national trademarks. The Madrid System also simplifies after registration trademark management, as only one application is necessary to file assignments and changes of name or address.
