Expand Your Brand Globally with International Trademark Registration Services

International trademark protection does not provide one registration that automatically covers every country. Instead, eligible applicants can use systems such as the Madrid Protocol to request protection in multiple member countries through a centralized application process. Each designated country can review the request under its own laws.

Protection may be requested in countries and regions participating in applicable international trademark systems. Our team can help you identify relevant markets based on your business plans and explain the filing options available for your target locations.

No. Trademark rights are generally territorial, and protection depends on the countries where registration is obtained or otherwise available under local law. We help you understand the filing requirements and available international routes for your selected markets.

Processing times depend on the countries selected and whether objections or other issues arise. Under the Madrid System, designated offices generally have a prescribed period to notify a refusal, commonly 12 or 18 months, although procedures and timelines can vary. We can help you understand the expected process for your application.

Whether you can use a mark during the application process depends on local laws, existing rights, and the circumstances of your business. Filing an application does not guarantee approval or freedom to use the mark. We can help you identify relevant considerations before entering a new market.

If a designated country raises an objection or refuses protection, the next steps depend on the reason for refusal and that country's procedures. You may need to provide supporting evidence, respond to the objection, or seek assistance from local trademark counsel. We can help you understand the available options and the requirements for responding.
