New countries set to join the Madrid Protocol system
Preparations are underway in Thailand, New Zealand, India and Colombia for these
countries to join the Madrid Protocol system. This system provides for International registration of a trade mark by virtue of a single application that designates those
countries party to the system where the applicant would like to try and obtain trade mark
protection. There are over eighty countries that are party to the Madrid Protocol system.
At present, there is not a confirmed date for the expansion of the system to cover any of
the four new countries, but once one is set this will be reported.
