Looking to Expand Internationally? There's One Simple and Effective Way to Protect Your Mark ™️ Overseas

In your application, you are able to directly designate the countries in which you'd like your Trademark to be protected. You can designate any number of countries as long as they're a member of the Madrid System. The registration for international Trademarks will last for 10 years and all associated fees are paid to the WIPO.

Like any nearly "perfect" system - the System has its flaws - namely that all nations globally are not a member of the Madrid Agreement. The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages by far. Even in the event you wish to register in a country singularly that is not included- you're able to file one application for many other countries in bulk.

Made In China?
Made In China?
