International Trademark Registration
The International Trademark is a registration system that covers more than 100 countries, protecting the ownership of your services.
Your trademark on international level
It is especially important in international trademark protection to have a competent advisor who is familiar with the specific needs of each company and adjusts them to the different existing international channels and agreements, in order to achieve a balance between maximum protection and lower costs. International trademark protection can be done through direct applications in each country or by using the international trademark procedure.
Characteristics:
- Single application management, centralized in a single International Organization.
- Single application fee.
- Cost of designation of countries, a reduced fee (in addition to the basic application fee) is paid for each country in which protection is sought.
- Objections or oppositions against the application will be dealt with in each country concerned.
- The international trademark requires a national or community trademark on which to base it.
- It is possible to extend an already registered international trademark to other member countries, without having to file a new application.
The processing
You can designate as many member countries as you wish, as long as the country of the base mark is a signatory to at least one treaty to which the designated country is a party. In other words, if the base is:
- Spanish trademark: any country can be designated.
- European Union trademark: member countries of the Agreement and Protocol and/or only of the Protocol (never only countries of the Agreement) can be designated.
- Agreement and Protocol countries: general designation fee.
- Protocol countries: individual fee, they have their own cost.
